X-Eyes Lite 12

X-Eyes Lite 12 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The X-Eyes Lite 12 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Blue Stripe or Brown Stripe. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our X-Eyes Lite range.

Blue Stripe or Brown Stripe: which one is you?

Blue Stripe. The Blue Stripe version is striped black and blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Brown Stripe. Brown Stripe is a good everyday shade. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

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

The X-Eyes Lite 12 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The X-Eyes Lite 12 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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.

Lens options for the X-Eyes Lite 12

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

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

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.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your X-Eyes Lite 12. 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.
