But with the lack of encircling round the lens, they are much exposed to damage as compared with full rimmed or half rimmed eyeglasses frames. As a result, rimless eyeglasses frames rely on the type of material used in the manufacturing of the lenses. The factors which count for the durability and stability for rimless eyeglasses so that they could be used for a long time are the stability and thickness of the lens material.
