Faq - Lenses

Choosing a lens

We understand that your eyes need to adjust to different environments in different situations, so we provide optional upgrades for different needs throughout the day:

- Digital protection

For those of you who just cannot live without your smartphone (count me in), or sit 8 hours in front of the PC every day, our digital protection lens is for you. This lens filters out the harmful blue light and radiation coming from digital screens, sooths digital eye strain, and protects your vision.

- Light-adjusting

All glasses-wearers have been in this situation – it’s a sunny day and you walk outside, immediately blinded by the sun glare, and while your companions can just put on their sunglasses, you need to fiddle and change your prescription glasses into a pair of prescription sunwear. The hassle of two pairs can be eliminated with our light-adjusting lenses, which change in colour according to the strength of UV detected. Under strong sunlight, the lens will turn dark, and indoors, clear again.

- Prescription sunwear

Who said sunwear was only for the non-vision-impared? With our prescription sun-lenses, you can easily and comfortably reduce sun glare when driving, or just a walk out on a sunny day, even enjoy those holidays on the beach.
Other preferences

- Lens thickness - varies with refractive index. Our standard lenses are 1.60 polycarbonate, but we do offer higher index lenses, 1.67, options for users with a higher prescription. We recommend the 1.60 as a good value for quality for prescriptions under ±4.00D, and the 1.67 option for users who have a higher prescription, or those who simply want a thinner a lighter lens.

- If you have a really high prescription of over ±7.00, and the 1.67 is still not light enough, feel free to contact our customer service, and they will be happy to discuss options that can be tailored to fit just your needs.

How thin can you make your lenses?

For the same prescription, we offer a variety of lenses with different thicknesses. However, because the final thickness of the edged lens depends on your frame shape and pupillary distance, it is hard to say exactly how thin your lens would be. Nevertheless, it is certain to say that if all else is the same, a higher refractive index would give you a thinner lens.

Can I order lenses only, without the frame?

Unfortunately, we currently only provide lenses fitted on a frame.

Faq - Frames

What if my frames don’t fit well?

If your frames don’t sit on your face well, it may be that each frame needs minor adjusting. If you don’t like the style, you can easily exchange the design. Either the case, our customer service is happy to assist.

Face shape guide

If you are having difficulty deciding which types of frame is for you, try starting from finding the shape that most flatters your face shape.

-Oval

An oval face is appropriately long and narrower at the forehead and jawline. Recommendations: rectangle, square, browline, aviator.

-Round

A round face is similar in width as it is in length, with no or little angular features.

Recommendations: rectangle, square, aviator.

-Square

A square face typically has a broad forehead and jawline.

Recommendations: oval, browline, horn, aviator.

-Diamond

A diamond face is wider at the cheekbones, with an angular jawline.

Recommendations: oval, round, horn, browline.

-Pear

A pear face is broader at the jaw than at the forehead.

Recommendations: oval, aviator, browline, round.

Can I order frames without lenses?

Yes, simply choose ‘frame only’ when ordering, or 'non-prescription' for sunglasses to choose the originally fitted lenses.

How do I choose the best frame for myself?

The one you like the most, usually suits you best! However, if you are between a few frames, you can take a look at our face shape guide (above) to find a shape that fits your face well.

Do you have virtual try-on?
