W46

W46 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The W46 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 53-15-140, in Havana. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Solo range.

The colour

Havana. In Havana, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is shown with brown lenses. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift.

Keep the W46 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

How to wear it

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the W46

The W46 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your W46 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

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.
