Planet 61

Planet 61 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Planet 61 is a unisex full-rim plastic rectangular frame in Shiny Black, Crystal/Black or Tortoise. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Planet collection.

Which colour is you?

Shiny Black. Shiny Black keeps things simple. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Crystal/Black. Crystal/Black mixes crystal and black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Tortoise. The Tortoise version is tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Planet 61 is a strong choice. The Planet 61 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Size and fit

At 57mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Planet 61

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Planet 61. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 57mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I wear the Planet 61 for driving?

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

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
