Thirteen Banana

Thirteen Banana Prescription Glasses

Not quite round, not quite square, and that is exactly why this shape works on so many faces. The Thirteen Banana is a unisex full-rim plastic rounded square frame in Dark Grey, Light Grey or Blue. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Top Banana collection.

Choosing your Thirteen Banana colour

Dark Grey. The Dark Grey version is translucent grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Light Grey. The Light Grey version is light grey translucent. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Blue. The Blue version is translucent blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Design details

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Thirteen Banana is a strong choice.

How to wear it

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

How it fits

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Thirteen Banana

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.
