Visage VS201

Visage VS201 Prescription Sunglasses

Few shapes are as recognisable as the aviator. The Visage VS201 is a pair of men’s full-rim metal aviator sunglasses, sized 56-16-140, in Gold or Gunmetal. 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 collection.

Gold or Gunmetal: which one is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is shown with brown lenses. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is shown with grey lenses. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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 aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Keep the Visage VS201 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

Styling tips

Keep them on the dashboard? Better to keep them in their case, but they are the perfect driving pair.

Size and fit

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. 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 VS201

The Visage VS201 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 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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.

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 VS201 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.
