What is Titanium?

Titanium is a lightweight, incredibly strong, and corrosion-resistant metal, widely recognized for its superior durability and high performance. These qualities have made it a popular material choice for eyewear, particularly for those looking for a minimalist profile without sacrificing strength. Titanium frames are also hypoallergenic, making them perfect for those with sensitive skin.


At Mountain View Optometry, we’re proud to offer a wide range of high-quality titanium eyewear. Our collection features top-tier frames from renowned brands like Bevel, Orgreen, and Tom Davies, ensuring both style and functionality. 


Most top-quality titanium designer glasses are crafted in Japan, whose artisans are world-renowned for their precision and workmanship. Here's a video that showcases the meticulous creation process behind Ørgreen eyewear, highlighting the artistry and innovation involved.

Why Choose Titanium Eyewear?


Lightweight and Comfortable 

One of the standout features of titanium eyewear is its lightness. Titanium is about 45% lighter than steel, making it perfect for creating frames that feel almost weightless. This comfort makes titanium eyewear ideal for people who wear glasses all day, ensuring they don’t feel heavy or uncomfortable. 


Durability and Strength 

Titanium is incredibly durable and flexible, meaning titanium eyewear can withstand bending and impact. The metal has a high resistance to breaking, so your glasses are less likely to snap under pressure compared to frames made from other materials. 


Aesthetic Appeal 

Titanium eyewear offers a modern, sleek look that many find appealing. Its natural finish gives a polished, minimalist aesthetic, which can easily be dressed up or down. With titanium frames, wearers enjoy a perfect blend of style and practicality.

Corrosion Resistance 

Unlike some metals that can rust or corrode over time, titanium is naturally resistant to corrosion, even when exposed to saltwater, sweat, or moisture. This property ensures your frames retain their appearance and function for longer, even in harsh environments. 


Hypoallergenic Properties 

For those with sensitive skin or allergies to metals like nickel, titanium eyewear is an excellent choice. Titanium is hypoallergenic, and less likely to cause irritation, making it a comfortable option for many wearers.
