Solo 805

Solo 805 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Solo 805 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 49-18-140, in Blue Demi, Brown Demi or Purple Demi. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Blue Demi. Blue Demi keeps things simple. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Brown Demi. Brown Demi is easy to wear. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Purple Demi. Purple Demi keeps things simple. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Solo 805 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 Solo 805

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 Solo 805 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 805?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Solo 805 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.
