The PLASTICS II DISTANCE eyeglasses deliver a square acetate frame designed for men who need reliable prescription eyewear without the premium price tag. Built with full-rim construction and spring hinges, these frames balance everyday durability with a comfortable fit.
The square shape offers a modern, versatile look that works for most face shapes, while the acetate construction keeps the frames lightweight. What sets the DISTANCE apart is the spring hinge mechanism—a small but meaningful upgrade. Unlike standard barrel hinges, spring hinges allow the temples to flex outward beyond the normal 90-degree angle. This flexibility reduces stress on the frame when you’re putting them on or taking them off, making them less prone to breakage over time. If you’re active or tend to be rough on your glasses, that extra give can extend the life of your frames significantly.
Available in three matte two-tone finishes—Black/Navy, Black/Grey, and Black/Brown—the DISTANCE features a subtle color contrast between the front and temples. The single-bridge design and full-rim construction provide a clean, straightforward aesthetic that pairs well with casual or professional settings.
These frames are fully prescription-ready, compatible with single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The acetate material accepts custom lens cutting cleanly, and the full-rim design securely holds lenses in place. At this price point, you’re getting a functional frame that can handle your prescription needs—whether you need basic single vision correction or more complex progressive lenses for reading and distance.
The PLASTICS II line is manufactured by Modern Optical and comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For the price, the DISTANCE offers solid value: a prescription-ready frame with spring hinges and durable acetate construction. It’s a practical choice if you need an affordable backup pair, a first pair of glasses, or simply want to keep costs down without sacrificing basic quality.
