OVVO Optics Glasses | Screwless Frames

OVVO Optics glasses are metal frames with a patented screwless hinge, made from a surgical steel and titanium composite the brand describes as hypoallergenic. Every frame on this page is new, unworn and in hand, sold as a frame for your own optician to glaze, with free insured US shipping. OVVO Optics says it was established in New York in 2010 and has stayed family-owned and independent since. Its frames are made in its own factory in Poland.

Rectangular OVVO Optics frames lead here, some of them semi-rimless, with a fine thread under each lens. The rest are square and round, with a geometric and a cat-eye. Eye sizes run from 46mm to 55mm and lean wide, so many are also on our wide frames page. The OVVO fit guide lists every frame by eye size, with its bridge and lens height. Most are one of a kind, so a colour that sells is not replaced.

What OVVO says about its frames

OVVO states that its frames are crafted by hand through an 85-step production process, in a family-owned, 14,000 square-foot factory at the foot of Poland’s Sudeten Mountains (ovvooptics.com/brand). It says every step of production happens on-site there (ovvooptics.com/technology). In place of hinge screws, OVVO uses rotary flexible steel. It states the hinge withstands 90 pounds of pulling force and was lab-tested to 300,000 rotations, “or 205 years of usage” (ovvooptics.com/optical/style-3828). OVVO says its snap-fit design separates under extreme pressure, for easy repair. The brand lists the 3828 at 0.6 oz with lenses and 0.3 oz without; we have the 3828 in Matte Black / Rust and Graphite / Red. OVVO says its frames have 3D adjustable nose pads and temple tips that bend to fit, with no tools required (ovvooptics.com). OVVO says its collections have been recognised by the Red Dot, IDA, iF and Good Design awards (ovvooptics.com/awards). For how the screwless hinge compares with LINDBERG’s, read OVVO vs LINDBERG.
