X-Eyes Lite 27

X-Eyes Lite 27 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The X-Eyes Lite 27 is a women’s full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-140, in Purple & Tort, Red & Blue or Teal & Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our X-Eyes Lite collection.

Which colour is you?

Purple & Tort. Purple & Tort mixes purple and tort. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Red & Blue. The Red & Blue version is red that fades to blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Teal & Tort. Teal & Tort mixes teal and tort. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the X-Eyes Lite 27 is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the X-Eyes Lite 27 is a solid choice. The X-Eyes Lite 27 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

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.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 X-Eyes Lite 27

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

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your X-Eyes Lite 27 and sends the finished pair 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.
