W45

W45 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The W45 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 55-16-140, in Havana. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Solo collection.

Colour and finish

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. It is shown with brown lenses. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

The details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined.

Keep the W45 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the W45

The W45 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

At 47mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your W45 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get the W45 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, varifocal, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Can I get varifocal lenses in the W45?

Yes. The 47mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
