Visage VS198

Visage VS198 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Visage VS198 is a pair of women’s full-rim plastic square sunglasses, sized 55-17-140, in Havana or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Visage collection.

Choosing your Visage VS198 colour

Havana. Havana is a warm tortoiseshell. It is shown with brown lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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

About the Visage VS198 design

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

Keep the Visage VS198 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Styling tips

Big earrings and a bold lip make these sunglasses feel even more glamorous.

Size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Visage VS198

The Visage VS198 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

At 44mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

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 Visage VS198 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.
