My first pair of prescription eyeglasses was a full-rim one. At that time, I was only 12 years old and became near-sighted because of healthy or over use of my eyes. My father took me to a nearby optical store. I chose that pair of eyeglasses which was with pink plastic frame. I loved the color of the frame. However, after a period of time’s wearing, I felt it was uncomfortable. It was a little bit heavy thus gave too much pressure to my nose. One year later, I decided to buy a new pair.

In order to give less pressure to my nose, my second pair of prescription eyeglasses was a rimless one. Rimless eyeglasses are most light in weight, and I felt much better when wearing it. However, since rimless eyeglasses only rely on the screws to hold the lenses, they are not durable. The screw would easily get loose and the lenses become unsteady.

Then I replaced it again. The third time I bought a semi-rim one. Semi-rim eyeglasses only have the upper halves of the lenses encircled by frames, thus are lighter than full-rim eyeglasses and firmer than rimless ones. Besides, semi-rim eyeglasses have diversified styles, colors and shapes for choice. If people do not so satisfied with their natural look and want to add little ornament to their face, semi-rim eyeglasses are the best choice. This kind of eyeglasses would not change the wears’ image as much as the full-rim ones.

Judged from my personal experience of wearing prescription eyeglasses, semi-rim eyeglasses are better choice among others. Of course, different people have different tastes. The suitable ones are the best ones. Now I am thinking of buying another pair from an online store www.prescriptionglassesonline.net because my friend told me that this store is on a sales promotion from 20th March to 10 April. I can get special discount if I offer the coupon code “HappyAllFool”. Tempting, isn’t it? What is more, the current trend is that we need different eyeglasses to match different dressings. Just one pair of eyeglasses is not enough anymore. I should take the opportunity to buy myself a new pair!

The ultra high index lens is thinner than the high index lens. Because it is thinner and lighter than high index lens, it is more expensive. The ultra high index lens is only more expensive by about $20 than standard high index lens. The average cost of the standard hi index lens is $79 while the ultra high index lens is $99.

Polycarbonate lens is a type of high index lens that is shatterproof. It won’t break easily when you drop it on the ground. Ordinary lens such as glass lens can become shatter when it is dropped on the ground. The polycarbonate lens is almost shatterproof so it is suitable to be used in sport eyeglasses. People who perform sports in the outdoor need to wear polycarbonate sports eyeglasses. When they are performing an outdoor activity, they will move around a lot. As a result, the eyeglass will drop on the ground. With the polycarbonate lens, you don’t have to waste money to buy new eyeglass. Besides, children eyeglasses are also made from polycarbonate lenses. Children like to run around when they are playing so it is important for parents to buy polycarbonate glasses for them.

Plastic lens is made from plastic so it won’t break easily like glass. Glass lens is made from glass so it can shatter when it is dropped on the floor. Plastic lens is slightly more expensive than glass lens.

They’re lightweight, unobtrusive, and stylish. That reduces the bulk caused by other lenses and again takes a bit more weight off of the bridge of your nose and your ears. Who wouldn’t want a pair? The actual eyeglasses frame is not one piece—you get the temples and the bridge. What holds them all together is the set of lenses you have put in. These aren’t like semi-rimless styles that have a clear wire across the bottom that fits into the grooves along the bottoms of the lenses. If you’ve had those and you hated them because the lenses dropped out, you may want to give rimless a try anyway.

You can also easily mix and match lens shapes and the temple and bridge color. With semi-rimless glasses, for example, there is a set lens shape that you have to go with for a particular frame to work. Depending on the store you go to, you may find that you can take a rimless eyeglass frame model with rectangular lenses and modify them with oval-shaped lenses because they are more flattering to your face. So the perfect burnished copper frames don’t have to pass you by simply because the lens size shown isn’t ideal for your features. Granted, it will take a bit of imagination to be sure they’ll work, but if there’s a similarly shaped pair (in the wrong color) on the rack to what you’re hoping for, you can try those on to be absolutely sure the shape works for you.

If you like the idea of lightweight frames but you like for your glasses to stand out, you still have options. You can choose brighter, colored metals or even just opt for a shinier metal as opposed to the matte ones available. Choose a fun light tint for your lenses if you like. You can still make them unique.
