2. Half frame (some are also called nylon wire frames): use a very thin nylon wire as part of the frame, the lens is specially polished to smooth the lower edge, and there is a narrow groove in the lower edge, so that the nylon wire is embedded in the groove In the form of a bottomless frame, the weight is very light, giving people a light and unique feeling, and it is relatively strong.

The lens, the bridge of the nose and the temples are directly connected by screws. Generally, it is necessary to strike on the lens. hole.

When they go out, they can hang the part of the sunglasses on it at any time to become a pair of "sunglasses".
