Solo 850

Solo 850 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The Solo 850 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame in Grey, Crystal Pink or Green. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Grey. In Grey, the frame is patterned grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Crystal Pink. In Crystal Pink, the frame is patterned pink. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

Green. In Green, the frame is patterned green. It pairs well with neutrals, denim and earthy colours.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Solo 850 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

Full frame measurements for the Solo 850 are not listed yet. If you would like the lens width, bridge and arm length before you order, contact us and we will confirm them.

Lens options for the Solo 850

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.

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.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

From our lab to you

Your Solo 850 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.

Looking after them

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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Questions we often get

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

Can I use the Solo 850 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
