People who are new to the idea of wearing contact lenses are generally concerned about comfort. "Will it hurt?" is probably the first thing that comes to mind when they consider putting that little lens in an eye. The second question is likely to be "Will it bother me?" or "Will I feel the lens in my eye all day" or something along those lines.

Following up on our recent post on Frameless or Rimless, Whatâ??s the Difference?, we thought we'd point out that top optical news web site 20/20 is featuring an audio visual presentation on the "barely there" look of rimless eyeglasses. Take a look at Beyond Rimless.

The presentation features a number of rimless brands in our catalog, including Silhouette Rimless, Jhane Barnes (including the Jhane Barnes Sine in the presentation) and Sean John.

Rimless eyeglasses are the ulimate in eyewear freedom with light, almost invisible fashion frames.

Actually, frameless and rimless frames refer to the same thing - sturdy, lightweight lenses that a light arm piece attaches to for support as in this image of the M+ Rimless 1034 rimless frames.

And, of course, because there is no frame to restrict vision, you have better peripheral vision with frameless eyewear. Depending on the frame and lens, they can be practically invisible.

Among our top frameless sun glasses are Maui Jim, Nike, Ray Ban, A & A Optical, Costa Del Mar and Revo.

With summer rapidly approaching, it's time to start thinking about sun, fun, swimming pools, beaches and water sports.

The first item on your checklist should be swimming goggles, so check out Sable Water Optics Goggles, endorsed by three-time Olympic Medal winner Gary Hall Sr. These great goggles are comfortable, quality optical products that can have different prescription strength lenses for each eye in some models. They also provide UVA/UVB protection as well as anti-fog technology.

While you're at it, check out our water sports sunglasses, too.

We're pleased to announce the addition of two more great brands of kids frames to our catalog of children's eyeglasses - Thalia Girls and Hushpuppies Pups.

Thalia Girls eyeglasses are for girls nine to 15 and are inspired by pop star Thalia.
