Eyeglass strings are thin, long rods of material used to secure glasses around the neck or to hang them around the neck when not in use.
Eyeglass laces can be made from a variety of materials, such as:
• skin
• rubber polymers
• textile materials
• metal wires.
They can be plain or decorated with different patterns and colors. Their main purpose is to prevent the loss of glasses and improve their comfort and practicality.
Practical laces for glasses
There are many types of eyeglass laces that vary in material, color, length and style. Some of the most common types are:
• Leather laces: These laces are made of natural or artificial leather material and often have a classic look.
• Rubber laces: Rubber laces are elastic and soft to the touch. They are popular for their flexibility and durability.
• Textile laces: Textile laces are often colorful and have different patterns and textures. Materials can be cotton, nylon or polyester.
• Nylon cords: Nylon cords are strong and durable and often have metal zippers on the ends.
• Wire Cords: Wire cords are often used to hang glasses around the neck and tend to be a bit heavier than other cords.
• Tie-on Ribbon Laces: These laces have a strong ribbon at the end that wraps around the frame of the glasses and secures them in place.
• Lanyards with attachment devices: Lanyards sometimes come with attachment devices that attach to the glasses to prevent them from being lost.
