Very interesting. I've too have been looking at a rimless design with
the clear bridge/temples. I'm wondering about the hingeless design. Do
the glasses fold up easily? Is there extra space between your head and
where the hinge would normally be located?
What lens shape did you use?

We do think along the same lines. We have the same ADD value and I'm
looking for glasses that would solve my weak spot in my current
progressives which is the intermediate distance, about 30 to 48
inches, or about where I sit from the computer monitor when relaxing
at my desk. Sit at keyboard ready, fine vision, don't use or need
glasses. Lean back in my chair, monitor not sharp. How do you like it
your custom prescription so far?

Yep, it's great!
