Solo 814

Solo 814 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Solo 814 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-18-145, in Black, Blue or Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo collection.

Choosing your Solo 814 colour

Black. The Black version is black and tortoiseshell. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. The Blue version is navy. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Grey. The Grey version is translucent grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

About the Solo 814 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Solo 814 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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 814

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

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

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Solo 814 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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.
