Retro 394 Sunglasses Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Retro 394 Sunglasses is a pair of unisex full-rim rounded square sunglasses, sized 49-20-140, in Black, Brown or Purple. 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. The Black version is black and grey fade. It is shown with grey lenses. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Brown. The Brown version is brown fade. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Purple. The Purple version is purple fade. It is shown with grey lenses. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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.

The details

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

The Retro 394 Sunglasses 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

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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 394 Sunglasses

The Retro 394 Sunglasses 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 41mm, 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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Retro 394 Sunglasses. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.
