X-Eyes Lite 08

X-Eyes Lite 08 Prescription Glasses

A rounded square gives you the softness of a round frame with a little more structure. The X-Eyes Lite 08 is a women’s full-rim rounded square frame, sized 53-16-140, in Nude, Purple Tort or Red. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our X-Eyes Lite collection.

3 colours to choose from

Nude. The Nude version is translucent nude. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Purple Tort. In Purple Tort, the frame is purple tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Red. In Red, the frame is translucent red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

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 rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the X-Eyes Lite 08 is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the X-Eyes Lite 08 is a solid choice. The X-Eyes Lite 08 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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.

Lens options for the X-Eyes Lite 08

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.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

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 X-Eyes Lite 08 before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-140: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Is the X-Eyes Lite 08 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
