CLIP912

CLIP912 Prescription Glasses

A rounded square gives you the softness of a round frame with a little more structure. The CLIP912 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 54-16-145, in Black or Wine. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Elev8 range.

Choosing your CLIP912 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Wine. Wine is a deep wine red. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

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

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. It comes with a clip-on sun lens, so one pair works indoors and outdoors.

The CLIP912 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

Brand	Elev8
Colours	Black, Wine
Frame size	54-16-145 mm (lens width, bridge, arm length)
Lens depth	44 mm

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 CLIP912

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

At 44mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your CLIP912 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 CLIP912?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the CLIP912 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 54-16-145: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
