How many of you wearing glasses have broken them due to carelessness, and more often than not stepping or sitting on them accidentally? Aspex Eyewear from Montreal is using Trilaston, a patented memory metal, in its Easytwist line at opticians. These are more flexible than traditional nickel-titanium frames and can be twisted or bent in any direction, reverting back to its original form within a second after. They are quite affordable and make good gifts for kids who are much rougher than adults when it comes to handling glasses.
