plastic frame

Synthetic support border

A plastic frame is a structure made of synthetic polymer material, typically referring to eyeglass frames as opposed to metal or wire ones.

Plastic frames tend to be lighter, more colorful, and less expensive than alternatives: She picked out thick black plastic frames for her new glasses.

The term also applies to picture frames, window frames, or any supporting structure made of plastic rather than wood or metal.
