Question 1

What are semi-rimless glasses?

Accepted Answer

Semi-rimless glasses, also known as half-frame glasses or half-rim glasses, are a frame style that only encloses a portion of the lenses, typically the top half. Because their frame material is reduced, semi-rimless glasses are often more lightweight and offer increased comfort for the wearer.

Question 2

What face shape do semi-rimless glasses suit?

Accepted Answer

Semi-rimless glasses are a versatile option that can suit several different face shapes. However, their simple design may be particularly flattering to heart-shaped, square-faced, and diamond-shaped faces. They allow your features to shine through without overshadowing them.

Question 3

How do I fix semi-rimless glasses?

Accepted Answer

Some glasses are easier to fix or adjust at home than others. Semi-rimless glasses, with their half-frame design, may pose some unique challenges when it comes to repairing loose or broken parts. Because they can be slightly more delicate than traditional frames, it's recommended that you visit an optician who can help you repair issues safely. (Don’t forget: You get free adjustments for life when you purchase a pair at Warby Parker.)

Question 4

How do I remove and replace lenses in semi-rimless glasses?

Accepted Answer

Removing and replacing lenses in semi-rimless glasses can be difficult to do on your own without damaging the frames or the lenses. It may be best to seek assistance from an optician as they have the knowledge and tools to safely remove and replace lenses. (These adjustments are also free for life when you purchase Warby Parker glasses.)
