GREEN09

GREEN09 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The GREEN09 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 50-15-140, in Crytsal/Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Green Vision range.

Colour and finish

Crytsal/Purple. Crytsal/Purple pairs crytsal with purple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the GREEN09 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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.

Frame size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 115mm.

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 GREEN09

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your GREEN09 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.
