Octagon Glasses For Men & Women

Octagon Glasses frames are a fairly new development. Historically the first iteration of octagonal frames were during the 1850s. Many early steel eyeglasses frames were made in the octagon shape. This took a break for some 50 years until the popularity of rimless eye glasses in the 1920’s took hold. Once nose pads had been invented the lens shape turned from round and oval to various different versions of octagon glasses lenses. The Round, and Oval glasses shapes mostly went out the window.

Today octagonal glasses frames come in all materials and colors and make a great option for prescription lenses or for sunglasses for men and women. Eyeglasses Warehouse has a large selection of octagon shaped sunglasses as well.
