Key Details in Eyewear Manufacturing: Base curve Control

Sunglasses and optical frames have become an indispensable part of modern life. 
The design and manufacturing process of glasses involve many critical details, with the base curve of  eyewear frames, particularly the front frames (the curved part of the eyeglass frames), being a crucial component.
But what exactly is base curve?
why is it important?
and how does our eyeglass factory ensure its quality?
 
What is the Base Curve?
The base curve, also known as the base wrap, represents the radius of the sphere measured from the front of the lens. It indicates how much the lenses of glasses or sunglasses contour around your face. 
Our collection includes styles with 4, 5, 6, and 8 base lens curvatures. Models featuring a 4 base curve are relatively flatter against your face, while those with an 8 base provide a maximum wrapping effect.

 
Why is the control of the base curve important in the production of glasses?
Comfort: A properly designed base curve can greatly improve the comfort and stability of the glasses wearer.
Prevent deformation: A good bending design can prevent the problem of eyewear temple unblance and the crook of eyeglasses frame.


How does our glasses factory control the quality of the bending base curve?
First, we will make a mold according to the base curve of the frame in the customer's design drawing. We have recently made new improvements to the mold:


Traditional molds
Traditional molds usually have only one arc, which may lead to inaccurate bending, thus affecting the stability and wearing comfort of the glasses.

Improved molds
Our new molds contain two arcs-vertical and horizontal. This improvement makes the size and shape of the front frame bending ring more precise and stable, avoiding the problems of glasses frame unbance and crook in the later stage.
At the same time, this design is more ergonomic and improves the wearing comfort.

Summary
Our eyewear factory focuses on customizing high-quality glasses for customers.
By continuously improving the mold design and bending process, we ensure that each pair of glasses is not only beautiful, but also comfortable to wear, ergonomic, and provides consumers with the best user experience.
