What are the Types of Hinges for Glasses?

The types of hinges for glasses are normal hinges and spring hinges. Normal hinges refer to standard glasses hinges that allow for a comfortable fit across the temples and side of your head. Unlike spring hinges, normal hinges do not bend past 90 degrees. Spring hinges are more flexible than normal hinges as they can extend past 90 degrees. They are perfect for a snug fit across the head and can be a better option for wider faces.

Why are Spring Hinges Important in Eyewear?

Spring hinges are important in eyewear due to their ability to ensure a more comfortable glasses fit for the wearer. Spring hinges, with their extra flexibility, can be more accommodating to wider faces as they allow for a more comfortable fit. Hinge type, nose bridge fit and lens size are all factors that allow for well-fitting eyewear.

How to Buy Spring Hinge Glasses According to Temple Fit?

To buy spring hinge glasses according to temple fit, you should ensure the temples extend comfortably around the head, providing a fit that does not pinch or cause discomfort. The hinges should flex smoothly.
