Why Choose Half Rim (Semi-Rimless) Frames?
Half Rim glasses are a timeless classic that brings an intellectual edge to your personality.
Half rim glasses are a timeless classic that bring an intellectual edge to your personality. By highlighting only the top of the frame, these glasses draw attention to your eyes and eyebrows, making you look more focused and sharp. With less material than full-rim frames, they feel lighter on the nose and help reduce pressure during all-day wear, providing better comfort. Their clean and unobstructed lower view gives them a professional appeal, which makes them a popular choice for reading and business environments. Whether you prefer a retro Clubmaster-inspired design or a sleek rectangular metal top, half-rim frames offer a versatile style that suits almost every occasion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q3: Can I put high-power lenses in half-rim frames? +
You can, but we recommend "High Index" (thinner) lenses for stronger prescriptions. Because the bottom edge of the lens is exposed, a very thick lens might be visible and affect the aesthetic.
Q2: Who should wear half-rim glasses? +
They are excellent for people with Diamond or Triangle face shapes (narrow forehead, wider jaw). The bold top rim adds width to the forehead, balancing out a wider jawline. They are also perfect for anyone who wants a "lighter" look than thick plastic frames.
Q1: Are half-rim glasses durable? +
Yes. The lenses are held securely in place by a strong, invisible nylon wire at the bottom. While they are slightly more delicate than full-rim frames, they are durable enough for everyday use if handled with normal care.
