The House of Gucci has officially arrived at the Crozet Eye Care Optical Shop! I am excited to announce that we now carry the 2012-13 Gucci designer line of eyeglass frames. Gucci is one of the most famous brands in the world and one of the most renowned in the eyewear market.

Metal vs. Plastic

What does it really mean when your Optician says metal or plastic? Do you know what your eyeglass frames are made of? Most “metal” frames are made of a combination of metals, including nickel, monel, cobalt, and beryllium. Most “plastic” frames are actually made of cellulose acetate, which is a combination of cotton and/or wood fibers. Which material is best for you?
