X-Eyes Lite 21

X-Eyes Lite 21 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The X-Eyes Lite 21 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black, Pink or Teal. 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?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

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

About the X-Eyes Lite 21 design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the X-Eyes Lite 21 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the X-Eyes Lite 21

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

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

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.

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

Your X-Eyes Lite 21 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go 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.
