Visage VS189

Visage VS189 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Visage VS189 is a pair of women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye sunglasses, sized 53-17-135, in Black/Ivory or Havana/Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Visage range.

Black/Ivory or Havana/Purple?

Black/Ivory. Black/Ivory pairs black with ivory. It is shown with grey lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Havana/Purple. In Havana/Purple, the frame is patterned brown. It is shown with brown lenses. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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.

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

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

Keep the Visage VS189 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

Styling tips

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 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Visage VS189

The Visage VS189 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.

The 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty 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.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Visage VS189 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.
