Wally's Optical has been at the forefront of this trend, offering some of the most stylish and unique wooden frames in the market. But are wooden glasses better than plastic frames? Well, there are actually quite a few reasons. For starters, glasses made from wood are environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional plastic or metal frames which are made from synthetic materials that can be harmful to the environment, wooden frames are made from Airplane Plywood with a veneer finish.

Not only that, but they're also extremely lightweight and comfortable. Have you ever gone for a run with your glasses on and felt like your ears were going to fall off? With wooden frames, that's not an issue because they don't weigh much at all. Since they're so light, they don't put any extra pressure on your temples or nose which makes them incredibly comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. 

Finally, they offer a unique craft and design that you just can't find with other types of eyewear. Wally's Optical hand-picks each piece of wood used in their frames to ensure that every pair is one-of-a-kind. No two pairs are exactly alike which means that when you wear a pair of Wally's Wood Frame Eyeglasses , you can rest assured knowing that nobody else in the world has a pair just like yours. 

Now that we've talked about some of the great benefits of wooden frames, let's move on to how to take care of them. Just like anything else made of wood, they need to be cared for properly in order to stay in good condition. The first thing you want to do is avoid getting them wet if at all possible because water can damage the wood and cause it to warp or crack over time. If you do get them wet (it happens), make sure to dry them off as soon as possible with a soft cloth. 

You'll also want to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures because again, this can cause cracking or warping. If you live in a particularly hot or cold climate, make sure you take your glasses off before going outside and store them somewhere safe until you come back inside where it's more temperate. 

Other than that, just use common sense when handling your wooden frames and treat them with the same care and respect you would any other type of eyewear and they should last you for years to come. 

Almost anyone! The only people that they're not suitable for are those who play extreme sports or participate in other activities where there's a higher risk of dropping or breaking them because let's be honest—they're not indestructible (even though they may look it). Other than that, anyone can rock a pair of Wally's Optical Wood Frame Eyeglasses with confidence knowing that they made a smart choice both style-wise and eco-consciousness-wise. 

If you're looking for a unique new style that will turn heads and start conversations while also being gentle on the environment, look no further than Wally's Optical . Made from sustainably sourced wood, these stylish frames offer all the benefits of traditional eyewear plus so much more.
