I see a different slant on this glasses bit. Many more people have been wearing rimless glasses for at least ten years now, including myself. They are so much lighter in weight than the rimmed glasses and look so much better. So very comfortable, as well. Much more expensive, but well worth it for the comfort mainly.
If you recall, there was also the press writing that an American Idol was hawking these rimless glasses as he would wear a different style rimless each performance.
My opthalmologist told me that there is now a way that people who need thick glasses can be made rimless. They can make the plastic lens much less thicker.
