Welcome to Feel Good Contacts' Semi-Rimless Glasses Collection, where fashion meets functionality. Discover the latest trends in half frame eyewear designed to elevate your style while providing optimal comfort and visual clarity.
What are semi-rimless glasses?
Semi-rimless, also known as half frame glasses are spectacles with a distinct frame at the top (or sometimes bottom) of the lenses, and the other half remains uncovered. Although semi-rimless prescription glasses have one half of the frame missing, this does not affect your vision in any way.
Who should wear semi-rimless glasses?
If you’re wondering whether semi-rimless glasses will suit you, don’t get yourself worked up about it as half rim spectacles suit just about anyone.
Lately, they have become particularly favourable among students and working professionals as they give off a smart and sophisticated, but not too serious look. Those with diamond or triangular face shapes also favour semi rimless glasses over any other style of frame as they accentuate the cheekbones and delicate features.
We have plenty of men’s half rim glasses as well as half frame glasses for ladies, so why not give them all a try using our virtual try-on tool until you find the best pair for you?
How to style semi-rimless glasses
When it comes to styling your semi-rimless frames, you’ll want to choose clothing and accessories that complement the style and colour of your glasses. For example, if you’re going for a bold look, you may opt for bright frames styled with similar coloured clothes. However, bright frames also work well with an all-black outfit for a timeless look.
Those who prefer a subtle look may find darker semi-rimless frames are multi-dimensional and can be paired with just about anything you’ve got in the wardrobe.
What are the benefits of semi-rimless glasses?
There are plenty of benefits of going semi-rimless, not just the fact that they are trendy. For example, the missing frame means they are much more lightweight than full-rim glasses (again, not just a fashion statement).
Additionally, they provide a clear field of view as the lower frame does not obstruct the lenses. Semi-rimless glasses can be worn every day, no matter the occasion.
Need a new pair of sunglasses, but unsure where to start?
Sure you can select a random pair and run with it, but wouldn’t it be nice to have the perfect pair? If you take just a few things into consideration, your sunglasses are more likely to go the distance:
UV protection
The (main) purpose of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from harmful UVA/UVB rays – so you’ll want to look for the CE and UKCA mark on the pair of frames to ensure they are protecting your eyes and meet the European Union and UK standards. Have peace of mind shopping with Feel Good Contacts, knowing your sunglasses meet these standards.
Size
The right size glasses will ensure light does not enter from the sides or from above. They should be as broad as your face and cover your eyes entirely – otherwise, your eyes are at risk of not being protected from harmful rays. This could result in burnt skin around the eye area, as well as long term issues such as worsening eyesight and the formation of cataracts.
Types of lenses
Some lenses/tints are more suitable than others. This depends largely on your individual needs and lifestyle. For example, polarised lenses reduce reflective glare, and for this reason, is a great option for those who spend plenty of time outdoors. On the other hand, those who drive a lot may find gradient sunglasses are a better option.
