A little bit, but less than you'd think.
The stems are very flexible. I was worried that they wouldn't stay on,
but they are *so* light that friction at the bridge and ears seems to
be more than enough to hold them firmly in position. A bonus for me is
that my skin is so acid that I tend to corrode any metal frame, even
some "titanium" ones. It remains to be seen how durable these will be,
of course.
They don't fold, they bend, very easily.

The biggest ones, #221. I think progressives need the biggest lens you
can get.

They are doing what I wanted -- giving me better computer vision for
casual use, and when the screen is positioned low, as with my laptop.
I still prefer my computer glasses for extended sessions on desktop
computers (which is most of my workday). But these are more generally
useful than the regular (2.25 ADD) rimless progressives from Zenni
that I have with the same lens shape and size. It would be different
if I ever actually used my glasses for close-up work, but I still
usually find myself taking my glasses off or looking over the top for
that anyway.
One thing I've never tried, though, is dedicated single-vision reading
glasses. I suppose that's next. :)
