X-Eyes Lite 11

X-Eyes Lite 11 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The X-Eyes Lite 11 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black or Red. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our X-Eyes Lite range.

Black or Red: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the X-Eyes Lite 11 is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the X-Eyes Lite 11 is a solid choice.

Styling tips

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 11

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

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 X-Eyes Lite 11 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.
