Full-rim glasses are stronger and less likely to break than half-rim and rimless glasses, because they completely cover the lens perimeter, help to evenly distribute any force or impact throughout the frame, suitable for people who like sports.
2. Better protectionFull-frame eyeglasses provide better protection for the lens, and prevent scratches, chips, or cracks because the whole frame surrounds the lenses. They also provide better protection against debris or foreign objects that may enter the eye.
3. More styles

5. The comfort is also good
