CLIP913

CLIP913 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The CLIP913 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-16-140, in Black or Blue. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Elev8 range.

Choosing your CLIP913 colour

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

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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

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.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CLIP913 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

Brand	Elev8
Colours	Black, Blue
Frame size	54-16-140 mm (lens width, bridge, arm length)
Lens depth	43 mm

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 CLIP913

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 43mm, 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your CLIP913 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

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CLIP913?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CLIP913 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 54-16-140: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm 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.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
