Like yours, my prescription is not strong: -1.25, 0, 0, +2.25 ADD.
I've had two sets of rimless glasses from Zenni. They are
polycarbonate composite lenses with AR coating. I've had no problem
with chromatic abberation.
Polycarbonate (abbe value = 1.30) is the lens material of choice for
rimless because it will stand up to the drill holes for mounting the
frames the best. Another choice is Trivex (abbe value = 1.44). You
might want to try a lens made of Trivex.
