Retro Sun 021

Retro Sun 021 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Retro Sun 021 is a pair of unisex browline sunglasses, sized 52-18-140, in Black/Silver. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Retro Collection.

The colour

Black/Silver. Black/Silver pairs black with silver. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Why you will like it

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake.

The Retro Sun 021 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Styling tips

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Prescription lenses for the Retro Sun 021

The Retro Sun 021 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.

The 38mm 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Retro Sun 021. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.
