Acetate Clip on Optical Frame Women and Men Polarized Lens






An acetate clip-on front with a polarized lens, built to mount over an optical frame so one pair covers prescription and sun for women and men.
Overview
This is an acetate clip-on front with a polarized lens, shaped to sit over an optical frame rather than replace it. The clip is a spring-loaded mount at the bridge, so the front locates on the frame and comes off with one hand, which is what makes it usable at a crossing rather than only at a desk.
The lens is polarized, so glare from a road or a water surface is cut rather than merely darkened, and the acetate front gives the clip-on enough body to stay flat instead of curling at the edge. Size can be chosen so the clip-on matches the base frame, and the pairing is what a buyer needs to confirm before ordering.
Wenzhou Readsun Optical Co., Ltd. is a professional eyewear supplier specialising in the design and production of high-end optical frames in TR90, acetate and metal. Trading through its Alibaba store since 2007, it has won the recognition of millions of customers worldwide, keeps more than 1,000 different models in stock, and updates the range every week so buyers can follow the latest trends.
An acetate clip on front that mounts over a base frame, supplied with a men polarized lens for women and men who want sun cover without a second pair; the clip on optical frame mount is shared across sizes, and every on optical frame build in the optical frame women range uses the same clip.
Key Features
Spring Clip Mount
The clip is a spring-loaded mount at the bridge that locates on the base frame and releases with one hand. Tension is set so the clip holds through a day of wear without marking the base frame, and every unit is opened and closed on the line before packing.
Acetate Front
Acetate gives the clip-on enough thickness to stay flat across the eye, which a thin moulded front does not. It also takes a polish, so the front reads as a finished accessory rather than an industrial add-on when it is worn on its own.
Polarized Lens
The lens is polarized, so glare is cut rather than just dimmed. Wafers are checked for axis and tint density on arrival, and the mounted lens is inspected for stress marks where the clip meets the front, because stress shows as a rainbow patch in the wearer’s view.
Sizing to the Base Frame
Size can be chosen so the clip-on matches the base frame it is sold with. That pairing is confirmed at order stage against the frame model, because a clip-on that does not locate properly is returned regardless of how well it is made.

OEM & ODM Customization
A clip-on sells as a pair with a base frame, so customisation covers both: front colour, lens tint and the clip tension that matches the frame it will be used with. The engineering team confirms the base frame model before production, because the mount geometry is what decides whether the product works.
- Acetate front colour matched to the base frame or deliberately contrasted, with the pairing approved on a sample.
- Polarized lens tint selected per order, with the axis and density checked on arrival.
- Logo on the temple of the clip-on or on the case, positioned so it does not sit under the clip.
- Case and printed card designed to the buyer’s brief, with an instruction card showing how the clip mounts.
- Every shipment is guaranteed: if a problem appears within the warranty period, other than damage to vulnerable parts or man-made damage, replacement spare parts are sent for fitting.
- The engineering team designs personalised frames and builds the packaging solution around your listing, with dielines and colour proofs reviewed before printing.
- More than 10 professional sales staff handle inquiries within 24 hours, which keeps a reorder moving even when the first contact is in a different time zone.
Manufacturing & Quality Control
The clip is the part that fails, so tension and location are tested on every unit rather than by sample. The front is checked for flatness, the lens for axis and stress, and the pairing is confirmed against the base frame model before the carton is sealed.
1. Incoming Material Inspection
Acetate sheet or PC pellets, polarised lens wafers and metal hinges are checked on arrival for colour batch, thickness and optical defects. Lens wafers are read for polarisation axis and tint density, and any lot with ripple, haze or axis drift is quarantined before mounting.
2. Frame Forming and Lens Mounting
Fronts are cut or moulded, tumbled and polished, then the lens groove is machined so the polarised lens seats without stress that would show as a rainbow patch. Hinges are riveted or screwed at a controlled depth, and the frame is aligned so the temples fold flat and the front sits level.
3. Coating and Optical Inspection
Lenses are checked for UV blocking, tint evenness and polarisation efficiency on the bench, and the mirror or gradient coating is inspected under a lamp for gaps and edge coverage. Frames are checked for colour match against the master plaque, and the assembled pair is gauged for face form and lens retention.
4. Packing and Outgoing Sampling
Each pair is wiped, bagged and packed with the case, cloth and card agreed for the order. The outgoing AQL sample is checked for hinge tension, lens retention, logo position and label accuracy, and the carton is verified for barcode, quantity and shipping marks before it is sealed.
Applications
- Optical counters selling a prescription frame with a matching sun front.
- Outdoor and driving customers who need glare control over a prescription pair.
- Travel retail where one frame plus a clip-on replaces two pairs.
- Online stores that show the clip-on mounted and removed.
- Private-label brands building a two-piece eyewear set.
- Export markets needing CE and FDA documentation.
This clip-on belongs to our clip on optical frames range and pairs with the frames listed under custom optical frame.
FAQ
What is the MOQ?
The minimum is confirmed at quotation stage because it depends on the base frame pairing and the lens tint. A single pairing with one tint is the simplest first order.
Will the clip scratch the base frame?
The clip is set to a tension that holds without marking, and every unit is opened and closed on the line before packing. The mount is checked against the base frame model so the contact points sit where the frame is strongest.
Is the lens polarized?
Yes, the specification is a polarized lens, and the wafers are checked for axis and tint density before mounting. A polarisation test card is used on the outgoing sample.
