VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron BARELY THERE Whether you are new to wearing prescription eyeglasses and don't want to draw attention to your glasses, or simply prefer a minimalist look, "rimless" glasses are the perfect choice. As their name suggests, rimless glasses do not have rims, relying instead on the temples (which extend from the temples to the backs of the ears) and bridge (which fits over the nose) for structure. This design serves to make lenses look as if they are suspended in thin air, in front of the eyes. As you might expect, rimless glasses are lightweight and sophisticated. If you want a similar look that doesn't go quite as far design- wise, "half-rim" eyeglasses come with lenses covered only by top rims. Modern eyewear serves a dual purpose. In addition to being a vision- correcting medical device used to enhance your safety and quality of life, eyeglasses have become a major fashion accessory. That is why when it comes to selecting eyewear, there are many important factors to consider. When it's time to make the all-important choice for the best frames to fit your budget and style, look to SKOWRON EYE CARE! At Skowron Eye Care, your 20/20 vision is our mission. P.S. Half rim eyeglasses emphasize the upper portion of your eyes, if you want to accentuate your eye makeup. SKOWRON EYE CARE 370 N.
