EXPLORE

EXPLORE Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The EXPLORE is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 49-18-135, in Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Rimless range.

About the EXPLORE colour

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. With no rim around the lenses, the frame almost disappears on the face.

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

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 EXPLORE

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

• 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.

The 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your EXPLORE and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

FAQs

Is the EXPLORE suitable for varifocals?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the EXPLORE for driving?

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

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does rimless mean?

There is no frame around the lenses. They are held by the bridge and arms only, which makes the glasses very light.

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.
