Airfit

The plug is made of flexible plastic and is inserted through holes predrilled in the lens, the plug is then cut flush with the front surface of the lens.

The double barbed pins of the frame are then located into the openings of the hollow plastic plugs and an insertion tool is then employed to push the pins home fully into the plastic plug.

Starfit

The beauty of the starfit type of rimless fitting is its simplicity, a bolt with a five or six pointed clasp is soldered onto the frame ( during frame manufacture ) .

A single hole is drilled through a point at each temple and nasal position on each lens, the bolt is inserted from the front of the lens and after the rear protective washers are installed and the nut is tightened until the pointed clasp starts to penetrate the lens material, the points are only a few tenths of a millimeter long and should not cause any harm to the correct lens type.

Once the frame has been set up and aligned correctly the nuts are fully tightened and capped to prevent backing off of the retaining nuts.

Polycarbonate lenses are not suitable for starfit fittings.

The lenses are milled and drilled to form the notch and hole a few millimeters apart, the notch is used as an anti rocking locator.

The frame will typically be made with a screw or bolt inserted through or soldered to the front of the frame and a pin a few millimeters away which locates in the anti rocking notch, protective plastic washers are installed and the nut fastener is introduced, at this point basic setting up of the frame is required and finishing capnuts are fitted preventing backing off of the retaining nuts.

Semi Rimless Spectacles

Budgetspex sell a good range of semi rimless frames ( sometimes referred to as supra or half rim frames ) .

The lenses are secured into the frame by means of a nylon or steele cord sunk within a channel cut into the lens edge usually but not always around the full circumference of the lens.

To facilitate the insertion of the nylon cord there is a recommended minimum edge thickness of two millimeters.
