I have a pair of Zenni hingless, rimless progressives with a transparent "memory plastic" frame; they are nearly invisible. I also have a pair of exactly the same lenses in a rimless, hinged ti frame. The biggest issue with the hingeless pair is that they can't be put on with one hand; it takes two hands to spread the stems apart because they retain their "closed" shape from being in the case. Maybe if I wore them all the time it would be different. They also don't clamp themselves to your head the way spring-hinged glasses do. They're so light that they stay put reasonably well, but I would have to add an elastic strap if I was going to wear them during any kind of physical activity.But I only use these on special occasions. Other hingeless designs may be different. -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
