Sixteen Banana

Sixteen Banana Prescription Glasses

Geometric frames are for people who like their glasses to be a little bit interesting. The Sixteen Banana is a unisex full-rim plastic geometric frame in Crystal/Grey/Pink, Purple/Tort or Teal/Grey Mottle. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Top Banana collection.

Choosing your Sixteen Banana colour

Crystal/Grey/Pink. Crystal/Grey/Pink is a clear, see-through finish. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Purple/Tort. Purple/Tort pairs purple with tort. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Teal/Grey Mottle. Teal/Grey Mottle is a blue-green teal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Why you will like it

The angular shape suits round and oval faces, where it adds definition and interest. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear. Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

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

Wearing it every day

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

Lens options for the Sixteen Banana

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Sixteen Banana and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.
