Full Rim Glasses, Semi Rimless Glasses or Rimless Glasses

Seen from the perspective of frames, the glasses can be divided into three categories—rim glasses, semi-rimless glasses, and rimless glasses. It seems that nowadays people are not only wearing prescription glasses to correct their various kinds of poor eyesight problems but also regard glasses as a sign to show their personal taste and style. As a result, more and more people are going for rimless frames due to the simplicity in structure and delicacy in design.

Based on my own experiences, I will tell you something about these three kinds of glasses. My first pair of glasses has a full-rim frame. The full-frame covers the prescription lenses completely, which can protect the lenses to the biggest degree. That’s good. But the full-frame design made me look dull and after wearing it for some months, I kind of felt some discomfort on my nose caused by the weight of the frame. Besides, my prescription was not that strong to be fit only for full frames.

So I decided to make some change. Considering that rimless frames are more fashionable and lighter compared with full-rim and semi-rim eyeglasses frames, I purchased a pair of rimless glasses. The rimless glasses have no frame around the lenses, only the bridge and temples sitting directly on the lenses, so they are light enough for you to forget their existence. The rimless glasses did make me look cool and confident. Then there came the problem. Since the rimless glasses only rely on the screws to help to hold the lenses, they are not firm enough for sports. In my volleyball class, when I was running for the ball, the lenses on my left eye fell apart. I was kind of a sports girl, and if my glasses were not for sports, that would be trouble.

I finally settled on the semi-rimless glasses. Semi-rimless frames only partially encircle the lens, using a wire or screw to combine the lenses with the temples. They are lighter than full-rim eyeglasses and firmer than rimless eyeglasses. Semi-rimless eyeglasses satisfy my needs for both style and weight.
