Planet+21

Planet+21 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Planet+21 is a women’s full-rim plastic rectangular frame in Grey, Pink or Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Planet+ range.

Which colour is you?

Grey. In Grey, the frame is clear grey. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Pink. The Pink version is translucent pink. It is a gentle way to wear colour every day.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

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

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Planet+21 is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Planet+21 is a solid choice.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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+21

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

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.

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 Planet+21 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I use the Planet+21 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
