CLIP909

CLIP909 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The CLIP909 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Elev8 range.

The colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. It comes with a clip-on sun lens, so one pair works indoors and outdoors.

The CLIP909 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

Brand	Elev8
Colours	Black
Frame size	54-17-140 mm (lens width, bridge, arm length)
Lens depth	37 mm

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.

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 CLIP909

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.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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 CLIP909 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.

A little care goes a long way

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CLIP909?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CLIP909 comfortable for all-day wear?

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

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-140: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

How does the clip-on work?

The sun lens attaches to the front of the frame, so you can switch from glasses to sunglasses in seconds.

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.
