Joia 2577

Joia 2577 Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Joia 2577 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame, sized 52-17-135, in Black or Havana. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Joia collection.

Choosing your Joia 2577 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Havana. The Havana version is havana with a nude top line. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Joia 2577 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 Joia 2577

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

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

How your glasses are made

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 Joia 2577 before sending them to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Joia 2577?

Yes. The 42mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Joia 2577 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.

What size is it?

It is size 52-17-135: 52mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Who glazes my lenses?
