Calicoll

Calicoll Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The Calicoll is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Yellow Tort, Grey Marble or Teal/Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Infusion collection.

3 colours to choose from

Yellow Tort. In Yellow Tort, the frame is yellow tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Grey Marble. Grey Marble is easy to wear. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Teal/Purple. In Teal/Purple, the frame is teal and purple. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Calicoll an easy pick for everyday wear. The Calicoll also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

How to wear it

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Calicoll

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

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

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Calicoll before sending them 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.

Questions we often get

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Is the Calicoll comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
