Solo 809

Solo 809 Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The Solo 809 is a unisex full-rim round frame in Brown, Dark Purple or Green. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

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

Dark Purple. Dark Purple is easy to wear. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Green. Green is an earthy green. It pairs well with neutrals, denim and earthy colours.

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

About the Solo 809 design

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 809 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

Lens options for the Solo 809

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

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.

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

Your Solo 809 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.

Everyday wear

Good everyday glasses should be comfortable from breakfast to bedtime. Light materials, a secure fit and a classic look all help, and this frame ticks those boxes. Add the right lenses and it will handle screens, reading and driving with ease.

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.

FAQs

Can I wear the Solo 809 for driving?

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

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
