Retro Sun 032

Retro Sun 032 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses should be fun, and the Retro Sun 032 definitely is. Its rounded frame is covered in a confetti-like pattern of colour, and it can be made with your prescription so you can actually see the view you are wearing them for. Choose burgundy, purple or blue.

Burgundy, purple or blue?

Burgundy has a deep red base with multicoloured flecks and is shown with brown gradient lenses, which are dark at the top and lighter at the bottom. It is warm and glamorous.

Purple has a plum base with bright flecks and grey lenses. It is playful and bold.

Blue has a navy base with colourful flecks and grey lenses. It is the most versatile of the three and goes with almost everything.

A retro shape

The rounded, slightly squared lenses have a vintage feel, and the full rim gives the pattern plenty of room to shine. The shape suits square, oval and heart-shaped faces.

Why prescription sunglasses?

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses mean you can see clearly and keep the glare out at the same time, which is far more comfortable on bright British days than squinting through non-prescription sunnies.

Size and fit

The 50mm lenses make this a compact frame, the 17mm bridge is average, and the 135mm arms are a standard length. With a 37mm lens height, there is room for most lens types.

Prescription lenses for the Retro Sun 032

The Retro Sun 032 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, middle and far in one lens with no line.
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optician for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Retro Sun 032 and checks every pair before it leaves our lab.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Can I get the Retro Sun 032 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, varifocal, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Is the Retro Sun 032 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and choosing a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the overall weight down even further.

Is it a small frame?

It is a compact frame with 50mm lenses, so it suits smaller and medium faces.

What are gradient lenses?

Lenses that are darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
