Puriti 08

Puriti 08 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Puriti 08 is a women’s semi-rimless metal soft square frame, sized 47-18-130, in Rose Gold or Violet. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Puriti collection.

Rose Gold or Violet?

Rose Gold. Rose Gold is a soft pink-gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Violet. Violet is a soft blue-purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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 softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Puriti 08 is easy to live with. Thinking of a second pair? The Puriti 08 works well as a backup.

How to wear it

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.

Size and fit

At 47mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 18mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 112mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Puriti 08

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

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 Puriti 08 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.

FAQs

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 47mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Puriti 08 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 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.

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.
