Visage VS184

Visage VS184 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Visage VS184 is a pair of women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye sunglasses, sized 55-18-140, in Black/Grey or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Visage range.

Black/Grey or Purple?

Black/Grey. The Black/Grey version is patterned black-white. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

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

Keep the Visage VS184 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

How to wear it

Pair them with a sundress and sandals for a beach day, or with a trench coat for a smart city look.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Visage VS184

The Visage VS184 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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. 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.

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.

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 Visage VS184 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.
