Solo 822

Solo 822 Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The Solo 822 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 50-19-140, in Black, Crystal or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo collection.

Choosing your Solo 822 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

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

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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.

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 822 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Solo 822

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

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.

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 Solo 822 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 822?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Solo 822 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Where are my lenses made?
