Rimless glasses don’t look very strong, are they?
A. Rimless specs, open lenses held together with a bridge and two sides, are the lightest glasses available, and offer an uncluttered, ‘minimalist’ look. Although the frame is often made of titanium, the lenses are mounted by drilling through them, an obvious weak spot. We suggest that rimless specs are kept as your special pair, and not used in high-risk situations. The latest versions, Sihouette Titan minimal art, weigh less than a Rolo! Enjoy the style, the lack of weight, and the increased freedom of wearing them, but be aware of their shortcomings. We liken them to designer clothes, lovely, but you wouldn’t do the gardening in them!
