Together with the growth and development of prescription glasses, a growing number of different designed eyeglass frames have grown to be available. Normally, frames could be split up into three differing types - full rim, semi rim and rimless. Lots of people may inquire about which frame type is best once they prepare to buy the prescription glasses at shops or online stores. Actually, each frame type has its own features.

Full rim eyeglasses, also known as "hide-a-bevel" eyeglasses. They are not only the most original eyeglasses and also the most common and used designs. They encircle the prescription lenses completely; holds the lenses tightest, and in addition designed for the thinnest prescription lenses. The complete rim eyeglasses frames do an adequate job of avoiding the edges from the lenses exposed; those are the good option in case you have strong prescriptions.



Semi rim eyeglasses frames, also known as "grooved" frames, only cover half the prescription lenses. You will find nylon strings or liners running over the bottom with the prescription lenses to keep the lenses, and so the semi rim frames are lighter than full rim frames. Of these frames, when we assemble the prescription glasses, we need to cut grooves in the prescription lenses edges. Because of this, the thicker lenses are required for your semi rim eyeglass frames in order to not chip and crack.

Rimless eyeglass, since the name implies, have zero rim. The lenses are joined by the nose bridge along with the temples are joined on the lenses on the other half ends. The rimless rim eyeglass are the lightest eyewear. These are timeless as is also very simple, thus making you look confident and versatile. But because of there's no rim surrounding the lenses providing sufficient protection, they're least durable. Additional, the rimless eyeglass frame put high volume of stress on the prescription lenses, therefore it is recommended that CR39 lenses should be avoided to use, as well as index lenses with better durability are recommended for example polycarbonate lenses.
