Rimless eyeglasses

Eyeglasses were primarily developed and intended to correct human vision. Those who are nearsightednesses and/or farsightednesses need to wear an eyeglasses for the distinguishment of the things in front of them. However, they also need to be fashionable and comfortable. To meet these demands, various kinds of eyeglasses are produced which are lightweight, provide a wide range of vision, a fashionable style, a stylish appearance, and the least amount of obstruction as possible to the wearer's facial features. Rimless eyeglasses are gradually increasing in consumers' preference, as being light, providing an excellent wearing feeling to a wearer and being recognized as an ideal eyeglasses for expressing the contour of the wearer's face. In general, the frame of a pair of eyeglasses comprises a front and two opposite temples, and the front comprises two rims each enclosing tightly fastening one or the other lens with associated rim lock means, and a bridge connection the adjacent rims, each having a joint piece soldered to its outer side and one or the other temple hinged to the joint. The rimless eyeglasses have no frame body surrounding lenses and engage with side surfaces of the lenses, so that the customer is not prevented from being obstructed in a visual field. Rimless eyeglasses typically include two lenses, a bridge connecting the two lenses and two bows. The bows are attached to the lenses such that a portion of each bow covers a small portion of the front surface of each lens. In a semi-rimless frame, there is a rim on the upper half of the frame but not on the lower half of the frame. The lower half of the frame, instead, secures the lens to the frame by using a flexible wire or cord. In a rimless frame, neither the upper or lower half of the frame uses a rim. A flexible wire or cord secures the lens on both the top and bottom.
