Seventeen Banana

Seventeen Banana Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The Seventeen Banana is a unisex full-rim plastic round frame in Tort/Taupe/Grey, Purple Mix or Blue Mix. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Top Banana range.

Choosing your Seventeen Banana colour

Tort/Taupe/Grey. Tort/Taupe/Grey is a classic tortoiseshell. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Purple Mix. Purple Mix keeps things simple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Blue Mix. The Blue Mix version is patterned blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Why you will like it

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

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

Styling tips

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Lens options for the Seventeen Banana

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.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

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 Seventeen Banana before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

FAQs

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

Can I use the Seventeen Banana 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.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
