Olicana

Olicana Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Olicana is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Red Mix, Orange Mix or Purple Mix. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Infusion range.

Choosing your Olicana colour

Red Mix. The Red Mix version is patterned red. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

Orange Mix. The Orange Mix version is patterned green and orange. It adds a bright flash of colour that people notice.

Purple Mix. Purple Mix is easy to wear. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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

Shape and style

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.

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

The Olicana is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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.

Lens options for the Olicana

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Olicana. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Everyday wear

Good everyday glasses should be comfortable from breakfast to bedtime. Light materials, a secure fit and a classic look all help, and this frame ticks those boxes. Add the right lenses and it will handle screens, reading and driving with ease.

Your questions, answered

Can I wear the Olicana for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

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.
