X-Eyes Lite 19

X-Eyes Lite 19 Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The X-Eyes Lite 19 is a women’s semi-rimless metal cat-eye frame, sized 51-16-140, in Black, Purple 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 collection.

Choosing your X-Eyes Lite 19 colour

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

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Red. Red is a confident red. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

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.

About the X-Eyes Lite 19 design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

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

The X-Eyes Lite 19 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

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 51mm 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 118mm.

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 19

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

• 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

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 19 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

Your questions, answered

What size is it?

It is size 51-16-140: 51mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Can I use the X-Eyes Lite 19 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
