X-Eyes Lite 28

X-Eyes Lite 28 Prescription Glasses

If round and square both feel too ordinary, try a geometric shape. The X-Eyes Lite 28 is a women’s full-rim metal geometric frame, sized 53-15-140, in Purple, Red or Teal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the X-Eyes Lite range.

Which colour is you?

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Red. Red is a confident red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

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 angular shape suits round and oval faces, where it adds definition and interest. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The X-Eyes Lite 28 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The X-Eyes Lite 28 is an easy frame to wear every day.

Styling tips

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 X-Eyes Lite 28

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.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your X-Eyes Lite 28 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
