Modest Men's Polarized Glasses (100% UV Protection)

Do you ever get disturbed by the sun while outside? While hanging out with friends, driving, or just taking a relaxed day? Or are you just concerned with various eye diseases UV rays can cause such as cancers, cataracts, loss vision, or casual eye burns. With these botherations, I have created a stylish glass frame for some polarized lenses with 100% UV light protection. They are comfortable, affordable, and exquisite. Whether you're looking for fashionable-refined glasses to match a stylish outfit with UV protection or just some classic polarized glasses, this is the perfect fit for any man's daily accessories.

1. 3D Modeling Software (Auto desk, SolidWorks, etc...)
2. Lenses with 100-99% UV light protection or UV 400
3. Ruler/Paper/Pencil
4. Optional- Spray paint (This is for customization of the frames only/Preferably metallic paint for matte finish)
5. Computer or laptop (For Cad Software use)
6. 3D Printer
7. Hot glue or super glue
8. Optional- Hinges for glasses

The very first and important step is buying the lenses with UV 400 or 99-100% UV protection. The whole frame design is based off the lens's dimensions. You want to sketch out the lenses and figure out the eye frame dimensions. The lenses shape and color tone are purely your choice of preference. Once you have bought the UV lenses via online/in-store, you want to sketch the edges/parameter of the lenses down a paper using a pencil. After an identical sketch of the lenses, grab a ruler and be ready to take some measurements. You want to identify all the arcs around the parameter that would have the same radius. The more arcs you have the more accurate your frames are going to be, so you want as many arcs as you can possibly find that would have the same radius.

This part takes some visualization. Marked points with a pencil from endpoint to endpoint of the arcs around the parameter. After, you're going to connect the marks with a ruler with straight lines. Then you are going to measure the length of the lines and note it. In my sketch picture above, the number dimensions inside represent the length of their corresponding straight line. You also want to mark the center of the line and the center of the arc. You are going to measure the length of the midpoint of the line to the midpoint of the arc.

In the picture above, the outer number dimensions represent this measurement. The final measurements are from the furthest left point of the lense to the furthest right and vice versa for the top and bottom. This is shown in the dotted lines (Ignore the inside lines). For the eye frames, you only need the bridge length and arm length. This are personal choice for your fit but base it off the standardize measurements of them. 40-60m for bridge/ 120-150mm for arms. Decide your measurements beforehand starting on design (you can change it later also).

With the preparations of dimensions in hand, you can now start the design. Start with the arms using the arm length from the previous step. The thickness of arms is personal preference. The important part is making sure the frames and arms aren't blocky. You want to give it a realistic-modest look. The design innovation is limitless, make them as stylish as you want. For the hinges, you can either 3D print it, buy it, or not have it at all (won't bend/ when designing don't separate the arms to the front frame). After creating the arms, create the front frames for the lenses using the dimensions from previous step with creativity of design being your choice.

Once you have designed the glasses and 3D printed it, you're ready to assemble. Remove the supporters and check for any defects. This is the time to review the product before adding the lenses, paint, and hinges. Are the frames dimensions to your desired look? The thickness, length, and design. Do you need sandpaper to smooth out any edges (Depending on material use)? Don't forgot, you want to insert the lenses to make sure it's the perfect fit before adding them with hot glue. If it all checks out, your good to go! Add the hinges first then spray paint it to your desire color. Metallic spray paint is best for quality look and matte finish. Hot glue the lenses at last making sure to just add a little bit of glue. Having said, go out and shine with a new look!
