Allergic to latex

I am allergic to latex, and to most eyeglass frames. Does anyone know where to find frames that are latex-free? Sad

My eyewear suggestions are not based on medical knowledge of allergy to latex, and I don't remember reading about features of eyewear that address the particular problem.

If hypoallergenic components are okay, you should know that titanium is a hypoallergenic frame material. However, I don't know the levels of latex in other components such as nose pads and ear grips.

Our selection of titanium eyeglass frames is limited. See the Puma Sphere I PU15215 Titanium Eyeglasses Frames. These are frames only so you will need to have your optician prepare lens. The nose pads are not titanium and I don't know if there is latex at the ears.

We expect to offer the collection of titanium frames from Luxottica soon.

If you are interested in non-Rx sunglasses, there are the Serengeti Velocity Titanium Sunglasses.

There are many styles of eyeglasses with metal frames throughout our collection of Eyeglasses.
