It would seem to me that the lenses are also the strongest elements of just about any eyeglasses, so it doesn't bother me any. Pretty much any time I've had a failure of my eyeglasses, it's been the frame that's broken not the lenses. I also love the light weight of the rimless, when I put my old sunglasses on (about the same weight as my old glasses) I am amazed that I "didn't notice" them for so long. Just didn't know any better, I guess. nate -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
