SEMI-RIMLESS FRAME NAMES

The parts of semi-rimless frames are easily identified. The important parts are the holes in the ends of the eyewire in which the nylon is looped. The order in which the nylon loops through the holes provides for the tension around the lens.

CHANGING LENSES

To more easily remove     
lenses, rotate the lens
slightly in the frame
until a space opens and
push the ribbon through
the opening. Slide the
ribbon to the least sharp
corner and pull it out
and down so the nylon
line exits the groove.
Work the line out of the groove until the lens can be
removed. Packing type plastic tape cut to a sharp diagonal at the end works best as the ribbon can fray and leave threads in the groove.

To replace lenses, place the frame runner into the top and side grooves while supporting the frame top and lens with your fingers. Place the nylon line into the groove of the sharpest corner first and while pulling outward pull the tape toward the rounder corner until all the line fills the groove. Slide the tape to the bottom center of the lens and remove the tape.
