I'm sure many of you have seen this image floating around online at some point.

It seems a rather neat idea, though I'd be worried about any sort of accident, or even potential fight, ripping that piercing right out.

But, what if the lenses attached with magnets instead?...

And not really practical, tbh. Anytime you move your eyebrows or change your expression, the lenses would move, changing the focus of your vision.

That's no different from me with spring loaded earpieces. If anything, that would keep the glasses more fixed, considering the nose pieces holding it steady.

Oh it absolutely would be worse. You have only one mount point per lens vs two in regular glasses. Plus you don’t get the lateral stability of the full frame. If the nose piece actually bolted on to bone, it would be a different story. Pierced through flesh, it will have elasticity.

I'd prefer that honestly, at least I can easily twist the lenses to best match my vision.
