Planet 70

Planet 70 Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The Planet 70 is a unisex full-rim plastic round frame in Shiny Black, Blue Mix or Purple Mix. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Planet range.

Choosing your Planet 70 colour

Shiny Black. Shiny Black is easy to wear. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Blue Mix. Blue Mix is easy to wear. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Purple Mix. Purple Mix is easy to wear. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Why you will like it

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

The Planet 70 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

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 Planet 70

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

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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.

From our lab to you

Your Planet 70 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.

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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Your questions, answered

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

Is the Planet 70 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.

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.
