Ten Banana

Ten Banana Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Ten Banana is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame in Black, Purple or Pink/Peach. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Top Banana range.

3 colours to choose from

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

Purple. The Purple version is translucent lilac. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Pink/Peach. Pink/Peach mixes pink and peach. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

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

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Ten Banana is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

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 Ten Banana

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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 Ten Banana and sends the finished pair 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.

FAQs

Can I use the Ten 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.

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.
