Rimless Glasses- A Vogue Symbol

Rimless glasses, also referred to as frameless glasses, are a modern type of glasses, whose lens is not wrapped in the frame but supported by the lens bracket instead.

As is known to all, glasses are both tools to protect our eyes in the traditional meaning and ornament to perfect our appearance in modern sense. In the angle of their functions, glasses can adjust the amount of light penetrating our eyes so as to improve our vision, protect our eyes and cure some eye diseases. While glasses frame serves as support for lens, and sometimes it reflect aesthetics and embellishment too. Modern youth pay more attention to the harmony between their make- up and clothing to express their social classes, knowledge background and personal tastes.


An important characteristic of rimless glasses is their lightness. The typical weight for a pair of rimless glasses is about 15 grams, whereas that for glasses with full rim frame and standard prescription lenses is up to 40 grams, which more than doubles the former.

Also, as there is no frame to restrict your vision, you can get a better peripheral vision when wearing frameless glasses, which of course provides you with more comfort and beauty as well.


The major problem concerning rimless glasses is they are easily damaged as there is no protection of lenses provided by the frame. Besides, the screws used for fixing the lenses with glasses bracket loosen frequently, which are in need of your careful handling.
 
Rimless glasses are not restricted to particular features, and suit all major shapes such as round face or square face, but they are not appropriate for everyone, especially those with high myopia (i.e. higher than 600 degrees) because their lenses are typically so thick that it is difficult for rimless glasses to support the lenses.

Keep pace with the vogue, and buy yourself a pair of rimless glasses!
