Half Rim Eyeglasses

Half-rim frames only cover the top part of your lenses, which will emphasize the upper portion of your eyes and will give you a more sophisticated look. These types of eyeglasses are lightweight, so they're a great choice if you plan to wear them for a longer period. But because the bottom part of the lens is exposed, they're more prone to shatter. So, they're not the best choice if you plan to wear them while you're playing sports.

While half-rim or wire-rim glasses frames look stylish, they don't offer the best in terms of durability. But they're a step above rimless eyeglasses, which tend to break more easily. So in that sense, it's the perfect compromise between the stylish look of rimless glasses and the durability of a full-frame.

Also called “half-rim glasses,” semi-rimless frames only have rims that cover the top part of the lenses (which leaves the bottom part exposed). And because of their lightweight design, they're great for people who want to wear something that's both comfortable and stylish. The problem is that they're not as durable as a full-frame.

Your glasses should emphasize the best parts of your face. And because they're its most important feature, they should never be covered. A number of subtle emotions can be expressed by their movements. So if they're covered up, it may be hard for people to tell how you're really feeling.

Rimless glasses are great for people who want a more mature look. Because they don't have rims, the lenses depending on the temples and nose bridge to stay in places. So if you're looking for something that's both lightweight and comfortable, they might be a great choice. But because the lenses are left exposed, they don't offer a great deal in terms of durability. Feel free to look at everything we have at Extra Eyewear.
