Watch this video to see the difference between a Flexon eyeglass frame and an Oliver Peoples: https://youtu.be/FECFz36nFR4 Regular metal frames made with stainless steel in the temples for example just cannot compare to Flexon eyewear, nor do contact lenses provide that same protection. You can wear a contact lens underneath Flexon sunglasses, however.

Flexon Glasses History
U.S. Navy
Flexon was started back in 1961 by US naval scientists researching titanium-based alloys to be used in the heat shields of missiles. During this research the scientist discovered that the alloy they created would go back to its original shape after being bent by exposing it to heat. They conducted many experiments with this material, including banging it with hammers and they discovered the dents in the alloy caused by the hammers would revert back to normal and disappear after heat exposure.
Silicon Valley
In the mid-1980s, scientists in the Silicon Valley of California began to experiment with using this Flexon material as an optical frame but they discovered the material could not be welded, or plated so at the time its use with optical frames was not a possibility. Marchon Eyewear eventually patented this Flexon material and in 1988 they launched their first application of Flexon optical frames. The Flexon material is a revolutionary titanium nickel alloy weighing 25% less than other metals, making it much more comfortable optical frame. After being twisted or bent the material goes back to its original shape without damage.
