CLIP914

CLIP914 Prescription Glasses

Some frames just suit almost everyone. Rounded squares are high on that list. The CLIP914 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 51-17-140, 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 CLIP914 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

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

The details

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.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the CLIP914 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

Brand	Elev8
Colours	Black, Blue
Frame size	51-17-140 mm (lens width, bridge, arm length)
Lens depth	43 mm

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 CLIP914

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 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your CLIP914. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CLIP914?

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

Is the CLIP914 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 51-17-140: 51mm 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.
