Titanium Nose Pads

Titanium nose pads for frames and eyeglasses have been on the optical market for over 20 years, although they are not as widely used as less costly nose pads such as silicone nose pads or pvc nosepads.

An advantage of nose pads of titanium is that they usually last the life of a pair of glasses and beyond! Unless titanium nose pads become scratched or otherwise marred or damaged, they do not need replacement.

Although lightweight titanium pads for sunglasses and spectacles are often considered hypoallergenic, the concerned glasses wearer should consult with their healthcare professional to verify the suitability of titanium for their particular circumstance.

Due to their higher cost, the availability of titanium nose pad inserts in a variety of shapes, sizes, and mountings is significantly lower than that of nose pads fabricated in other materials such as silicone, pvc, and acetate.

Typically, titanium nose pads are found on new pairs of metal frames that are constructed of titanium or a titanium alloy.
