X-Eyes Lite 26

X-Eyes Lite 26 Prescription Glasses

Square frames have a confident, modern look that works almost anywhere. The X-Eyes Lite 26 is a men’s full-rim metal square frame, sized 52-18-145, in Blue Stripe, Grey Stripe or Tort. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our X-Eyes Lite range.

Which colour is you?

Blue Stripe. In Blue Stripe, the frame is striped blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Grey Stripe. The Grey Stripe version is striped grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Tort. The Tort version is black and tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

Why you will like it

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the X-Eyes Lite 26 is easy to live with. The X-Eyes Lite 26 is an easy frame to wear every day.

Wearing it every day

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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.

Lens options for the X-Eyes Lite 26

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your X-Eyes Lite 26 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.
