Did you get high index lenses, or mid-index? My last pair of glasses (bought locally for $660) are rimless. I've got a strong prescription, too, (-7.00). Even with high index lenses they're kind of thick on the outside edges of the lenses and the light really glares off of that polished edge.
I originally ordered rimless frames from Zenni, too. They emailed me saying they couldn't do rimless in the strong prescription, so I changed the order to full-rim titanium frames. I'm really happy with these glasses, but if I decide to try rimless frames again, I'll order from 39Dollar. On Aug 18, 3:13 pm, suzee <[email protected]> wrote: > Okay, I am definitely a convert!!
