• What kind of glasses should I get rimless, semi-rimless, or regular?

  It depends how high you prescription is. If you have a high prescription, you'd better not get rimless glasses because the lens with a high prescription is too thick. And if you are rough on your glasses, full frame glasses are a good choice for you. Rimless glasses need adjustment more often because the screws may loose easily. However, you can try them on and then decide which kind suit you best.

• Do semi-rimless eyeglasses last as long as regular rim glasses?

  Unless you sit on them or step on them , they will last as long as any other kind. The lenses aren't glued in btw...NO lenses are glued into frames.
