Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal

Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal Prescription Sunglasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal is a pair of unisex full-rim metal round sunglasses, sized 51-21-145, in Black or Brown Tortoise. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Retro Collection.

Choosing your Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal colour

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

Brown Tortoise. Brown Tortoise is a good everyday shade. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Keep the Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Styling tips

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

How it fits

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal

The Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

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.

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

Your Retro Sun 031 Memory Metal 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

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.
