EYE STYLES

Stay Trendy with Rimless Eyewear

Rimless Frames are the latest trend in today's optical fashion world. Lightweight, comfortable and nearly invisible, rimless glasses are the next best thing to not wearing glasses at all. Exclusive temples, with a detail on the flexible nose bridge, make eyeglasses reliable and as lightweight as you can imagine. Semi-Rimless frames only cover half the lens, and a wire or screw connects the lenses to the temples. Semi Rimless eyeglasses provide a good balance between durability, weight and style.

Hoffmann Natural Eyewear

HORN & ROSES - the combination of ß-Titanium for the bridge, pure titanium for the end-pieces and natural horn temples gives flexibility and extremely comfortable lightness to the frame. The innovative, 2mm thick, half-transparent ornaments on the temple are a beautiful addition. www.natural-eyewear.com

Revolution Eyewear

“Ed Hardy Lites” are made from Grilamid TR90 material, the temple’s artwork resists staining that might be caused by make-up on other frames. Ed Hardy Lites are adorned with Daniel Swarovski Crystals, and yet are incredibly lightweight. www.revolutioneyewear.com

The hottest rimless frames are minimal in design and maximum on style. With its "3 piece drill mount," the same eyeglass frame can fit almost any size face. You can change the shape of the lenses to make the whole frame smaller or bigger, more bold and beautiful. Be sure to offer rimless and semi rimless frames in ophthalmic, sunglass and reading glasses. Due to the fragile nature, we strongly recommend high impact polycarbonate or Trivex lenses to ensure durability of these delicate frames.
