ODP-2A Parts of the Frame

Full Rim

Semi Full

Rimless



1.Bridge: The area that arches up over the nose between the lenses thus supporting the

majority of the glasses weight. There are several different types of bridges: 2. End pieces: The portions of the frame front that extend outward from the lenses and

connect to the temples. 3. Eye Wires/Rims: Part of the frame front into which the lenses are inserted. 4. Frame Front: (not pictured) Outermost front part of the eyeglass frame which holds the

lenses in place and bridges the top of the nose; consists of bridge, end pieces, rims and lenses. 5. Hinges: Portion of the frame that connects the frame front to the temples and allows the

temples to fold inward in a closing motion. 6. Lenses: Eyeglass parts which hold a wearer’s prescription. 7. Nose Pads: Plastic pieces which may be attached directly to the frame or pad arms. These

help keep the frame in its proper position on the wearer’s face, while providing comfort and a

snug fit. 8. Pad Arms: Attachments that hold the nose pads in place; typically allow adjustments so that

they may conform to the wearer’s nose. 9. Rimless Frames/Mountings:When the temples and bridge attach by mountings, or metal

fixatives, directly to the lenses without the use of eye-wires or rims. 10. Screws: Tiny metal fasteners found at eyeglass hinges which connect the temples to the

frame front; and on the bridge, which hold the nose pads in place. 11. Temples: “Arm” pieces of the frame that extend over and/or behind the ears to help hold

the frame in place. There are several types of temples: 12. Temple tips: Plastic coatings that often cover the ends of the temples behind and/or over

the ears to provide wearer comfort. Their use is common in regard to metal glasses. 13. Top bar: A reinforcing bar that crosses the top of the glasses, between the two lenses, on

some metal frames; popular in aviator style glasses.



Different Lens Tints

Black Out- dark gray base lens tint cuts glare

and reduces eye fatigue in very bright, sunny

condition

Grey- provides true color perception for

exact color definition. Creates shooting effect

on eye in bright or sunny condition.

Platinum -a grey lens with mirror reduce

visible light and glare by reflecting it awayfrom the eye

Gray Green- reduces reflected glare and

sharpens detail Green-

Brown- absorb stray “blue light” andsharpens visual acuity.

Perfect for activities where depth perception

is important .Blocks blue wave length

Ideal for hazy, overcast, foggy condition Highlights differences in greens, ideal for

golfers and baseball players

Red- Rose or Pink tints perform best in flat

light conditions. Maximizes the object definition and

enhances depth perception



Blue -Extremely bright light. Neutral lens tint

for truer color perception.

Yellow- provide true color vision. Yellow helps to increase depth perception

and sharpen features so they work best in

overcast or stormy conditions

Clear-best Suited for low light and night

condition.

Allow maximum light penetration, providing

contrast within dark areas of the snow toincrease overall visibility.

Lens Coatings

Anti-Reflective Coating - (also called AR coating or anti-glare coating) is a microscopically thin

multilayer coating that eliminates reflections from the front and back surface of eyeglass

lenses. Scratch-Resistant Coating -scratch-resistant coating have a much harder surface that is more

resistant to scratching, whether from dropping your glasses on the floor or occasionally

cleaning them with a paper towel. Anti-Fog Coating-eliminates the condensation of moisture on lenses that causes fogging and

vision stay clear when you make the transition from a cold environment to a warm one. It may

also keep your lenses from fogging up during sports and other times you are hot and perspiring. Anti UV Coating- Another beneficial lens treatment is an invisible dye that blocks ultraviolet

(UV) light.UV-protective treatments for eyeglass lenses block those UV rays from damaging

your eyes.
