Visage VS198

Visage VS198 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Visage VS198 is a pair of women’s full-rim plastic square sunglasses, sized 55-17-140, in Havana or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Visage collection.

Havana or Purple?

Havana. Havana is a warm tortoiseshell. It is shown with brown lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

The details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

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

The Visage VS198 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

Big earrings and a bold lip make these sunglasses feel even more glamorous.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 VS198

The Visage VS198 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

At 44mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Visage VS198 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get the Visage VS198 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, progressive, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Can I get progressive lenses in the Visage VS198?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

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.
