Rimless Glasses

Are rimless glasses of 1.25 and 3.25 diopters in thinner plastic strong
enough to withstand the rigors of daily use without breaking at the
connecting points or should they be made of thicker plastic to hold up?

Thanks

The 3.25 diopters are for reading, the 1.25's are for driving. Wherever
did you get the idea that they represent a difference between my left
and right eyes?

Do you have an answer to my original question?

Thanks,

Bob

Unless you get smacked around a lot about the face and head, rimless
glasses will hold up with daily use.
