X-Eyes Lite 21

X-Eyes Lite 21 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The X-Eyes Lite 21 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black, Pink or Teal. 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?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It pairs well with neutrals, denim and earthy colours.

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.

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. 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 21 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

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 21

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

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 X-Eyes Lite 21 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

What size is it?

It is size 52-16-140: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Is the X-Eyes Lite 21 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.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
