rimless frames

Glasses without borders

Rimless frames are eyeglasses where the lenses attach directly to the temples and bridge without a surrounding frame.

The lenses appear to float on the face, creating a minimalist look: She chose rimless frames because they're less noticeable.

They're lighter than framed glasses but the exposed lens edges are more vulnerable to chipping.
