Is it better to wear glasses with frames as compared to frameless?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends.: Glasses frames provide strength and style. The rimless frames are the lightest and least noticeable but are the most fragile. If you are tough on glasses, consider a full or half frame with either heavy plastic or titanium. Flexon is a remarkable material that withstands extreme bending without damage.

Depends: Personal preference here. Glasses with frames a sturdier. Frameless glasses are lighter and show the face better.

I just wanted to know if it's normal for vision to curve with the top and bottom of the frame of my eyeglasses. My glasses are an oval shape and my vision seems to distort and curve with the frame at the top and bottom. These aren't new glasses.
With trail frame, I saw everything perfect, but when I got glasses, I see blurry on the sides, if I dont look at the center. I use spherical lenses.
Can I buy glasses frames and go to to the opticians for just lenses?
