Probably one of the elements one looks at when choosing eyeglasses is the frame style. Will it be full-framed or half rim glasses? Both are more famous for having unique and prominent personalities than rimless frames.

 

Half rim glasses basically do not have the full rim surrounding the lens. In most cases, the solid area of the frame covers the lens' top half. Meanwhile, the bottom part is uncovered, or there is a thin nylon string securely holding the lens. Additionally, there some half rim glasses cover the bottom part of the lens, leaving the upper area uncovered. These frames today are increasingly getting popular.

Half rim frames give off a more distinct and premium vibe. Additionally, these frames are designed to reduce the weight of eyeglasses. When frames were mostly made of steel, the overall weight of the glasses ended up really heavy, even with the thin edges.


With various materials used in frames today, one can definitely opt for those lightweight glasses. However, some people still find glasses heavy and bulky regardless of the materials. Prescription glasses, for example, must be worn most of the time. In this case, wearers must find lightweight frames to avoid getting tired of wearing these eyeglasses.


In terms of fashion and style, every frame manufacturer provides a wide selection of half rim glasses from big, chunky, and sleek ones. Regardless of your style, these frames are fashionable. Additionally, using them in formal outfits adds elegance to the overall look.
