Italian term or phrase: lenti al vivo
Would "free-standing lenses" work in this context? I can't think of anything else.

XXX è una mascherina iniettata con lente nylon a base 7.50, un superbo connubio di leggerezza e carattere. ***Lenti al vivo***, ciliare dinamico che fa foggia di sè in qualità di parasudore, aste a V.

rimless lenses
Explanation:
sunglass lenses can be "rimmed", "semi-rimmed" or "rimless". In your case it might be semi-rimmed as they have the ciliare dinamico at the top.
