Retro Sun 035

Retro Sun 035 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Retro Sun 035 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 55-18-140, in Black, Grey or Navy. 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 Retro Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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

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

The Retro Sun 035 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

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

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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 Retro Sun 035

The Retro Sun 035 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.

The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty 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.

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 Retro Sun 035 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

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.
