Frequently Asked Questions
What are semi rimless glasses?
Semi rimless glasses, sometimes called half rim glasses or semi frameless glasses. Have a frame that runs along the top edge of the lens only. The bottom of the lens is held in place by a thin nylon cord or is left open. Giving a lighter appearance than traditional full-frame styles.
Are semi rimless prescription glasses suitable for all prescriptions?
Semi rimless frames are compatible with a wide range of prescriptions, including single vision, varifocal, bifocal and reading lenses. Higher prescriptions may benefit from a thinner, higher-index lens to keep the edges neat. Very strong prescriptions would benefit from a full rim frame to help conceal the thickness of the lens. Our team can advise on the lens for perfect pairing with your prescription when you order.
What is the difference between semi rimless and rimless glasses?
Rimless glasses have no frame at all, the lenses are drilled and mounted directly to the bridge and temples. Semi rimless glasses have a partial frame along the top of the lens. This offers a little more structure and durability while still maintaining a minimal look.
How do I order semi rimless glasses online in the UK?

Are half rim glasses durable?
Yes. Modern half rim glasses are designed for everyday use and are generally sturdier than fully rimless styles. The top frame provides additional support to the lens. The nylon cord or groove that secures the lower lens edge is hardwearing.
