GREEN09

GREEN09 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The GREEN09 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 50-15-140, in Crytsal/Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Green Vision collection.

The colour

Crytsal/Purple. Crytsal/Purple mixes crytsal and purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Shape and style

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the GREEN09 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. 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 115mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the GREEN09

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.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your GREEN09 before sending them 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.

FAQs

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.
