Frames
Grilamid® is a nylon compound that when heated and mold injected becomes the lightest, strongest plastic material available. Once grilamid® is formed it has the amazing attribute of being extremely flexible, but is able to maintain its original shape under all temperatures.
CURVATURE
The term base refers to the curvature of a lens or frame. The higher the base number, the more curvature or wrap of a frame/lens. The term toric refers to different horizontal and vertical base curves. This type of base curvature provides a more custom look and an improved wrap.
