The spring itself takes the majority of the force when the glasses bend and twist, allowing this type of hinge to retain its initial balance and fit without the need for subsequent adjusting. Spring Flex Hinge Pros:

Building on the design of the standard barrel hinge, the flexible spring hinge takes flexibility to the next level. Often referred to as ‘flex’ hinges, these eyeglasses hinges feature a spring that allows them to bend past 90 degrees.

Another is Aspex Eyewear’s signature EasyTwist TurboFlex hinges that flex and bend 360 degrees to withstand impacts and fit comfortably. Sferoflex takes its name from the brand's patented hinge technology that allows the temples to flex around the wearer’s face and prolong the life of the frames.

Because of the mechanism described above, when the small temple screw is not or only partially inserted, the plunger retracts into the mechanism because of the spring. The barrel hole on the temple is attached to the plunger, so this causes the hole to misalign with the other hole on the glasses frame. Misaligned holes on a spring hinge. You’ll notice that there is no perfectly round path for the screw to go through. This is what the hinge is supposed to look like to be able to drive the screw in.

Frames use a very flexible material, usually titanium, for the temples. The springiness of the temples lightly pinches your head to hold the glasses in place.
