Proper Fit of Rimless Eyeglasses

Rimless glasses are worn by both men and women. Unlike other styles, which have a frame around both lenses, rimless glasses have what appear to be free-floating lenses, attached only to the temples and nosepiece. You should have your rimless glasses fitted properly so they will be comfortable.

Width
A pair of rimless glass should be wide enough for your face. The arms, also known as the temples, that rest on your ears, should neither touch your face nor leave too much space between your head and the temple.

Length
When selecting rimless glasses, consider how long the temples are and where they hit on your ear. The temples should hug your ear without any pushing or discomfort. Temples that are too short can dig into your ear.

Adjustment
While some aspects of fit will mean choosing a different pair of rimless glasses, some fit parameters can be adjusted. This includes the curve of the temples and the location and pinch of the nosepiece. You or your eye doctor can move or bend these parts of the rimless glasses until they fit properly.
