Pros & Cons of Rimless Glasses
Considering rimless glasses? Rimless glasses may seem unusual if you’ve worn traditional frames all your life. The truth is the style is nearly as old as eyeglasses themselves. Here are several reasons people like wearing rimless glasses:
- They’re lightweight and comfortable – titanium is often used for the temples and bridge.
- There’s no frame to obscure the view at the edge of your lenses.
- You can choose from a wide variety of lens shapes and sizes since there’s no rim to worry about.
- Rimless glasses are subtle – they won’t get in the way of your face – and work with almost any wardrobe.
Of course, rimless glasses aren’t for everyone. Common concerns include:
- They tend to be more delicate than full-rim glasses.
- Rimless glasses can’t always accommodate thick lenses.
- The price of rimless eyeglasses tends to be higher than traditional frames.
Are Rimless Glasses Right for Me?
If this is your first time trying rimless glasses, you’ll want to keep a couple of things in mind. First, they’re going to feel a lot lighter than your old frames. This is a selling point for many people who wear rimless eyeglasses. Next, they won’t be as noticeable to other people. If you like to make a fashion statement with your glasses, rimless frames are probably not the best choice. If you want to highlight your beautiful face, rimless glasses may be right up your alley.
