Solo 825

Solo 825 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Solo 825 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-15-140, in Black, Blue or Grey. 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

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

Blue. In Blue, the frame is black and blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Grey. The Grey version is black and grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

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 825 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 825

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 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Solo 825. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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

Is the Solo 825 suitable for varifocals?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Solo 825 for driving?

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

What size is it?

It is size 54-15-140: 54mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Who glazes my lenses?
