Planet 73

Planet 73 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Planet 73 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Red/Gold, Teal/Silver or Pink/Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Planet range.

Choosing your Planet 73 colour

Red/Gold. Red/Gold pairs red with gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Teal/Silver. Teal/Silver pairs teal with silver. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Pink/Gold. Pink/Gold mixes pink and gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

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.

Shape and style

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

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

The Planet 73 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

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

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider 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 Planet 73

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

Your Planet 73 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Your questions, answered

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Is the Planet 73 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.

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.
