Pure Titnaium

Wouldn't you want to protect your eyes with the same material that helped develop faster and more agile fighter jets and protects the space shuttle? Well, you can. Titanium is now being used to produce strong, light durable eyeglasses that are fashionable and hypoallergenic. The ninth most common element, Titanium is twice as strong as stainless steel but nearly 45% lighter and twice as strong as aluminum. Most metals, when bent continuously, will break from metal fatigue. Products made from Titanium will stand up to virtually any abuse. Most eyeglass frames were made from Nickel until recently. Titanium's strength is in direct contrast to that of soft metal Nickel frames. Titanium frames can even "heal" themselves. Pure Titanium that becomes scratched, when placed in a container of water for 24 hours, returns to its original unscathed appearance. Many eyeglass wearers do not realize it, but approximately 10% of the population - about 27 million people - is allergic to Nickel. How many of us have considered our eyeglasses as the culprit for our sinusitis, skin rashes and other allergic reactions? The only way to stop an allergy is to not come in contact with the cause. Titanium frames are a strong, non-allergenic alternative to Nickel frames.
