Planet+08

Planet+08 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Planet+08 is a unisex full-rim plastic rectangular frame in Blue, Purple/Cerise or Black/Red. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Planet+ collection.

3 colours to choose from

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.

Purple/Cerise. The Purple/Cerise version is purple and cerise. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Black/Red. The Black/Red version is black and red. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The two-tone construction, darker outside and brighter inside, gives the frame a fun hidden detail.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Planet+08 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces.

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 Planet+08

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Planet+08. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

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.

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.

Questions we often get

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Can I wear the Planet+08 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.
