Solo 802

Solo 802 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Solo 802 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 56-18-148, in Black, Blue, Grey or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Solo collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Havana. The Havana version is brown. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 802 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 148mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 130mm.

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 Solo 802

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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your Solo 802 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 802?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Solo 802 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Who glazes my lenses?
