Solo 826

Solo 826 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Solo 826 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 54-17-140, in Blue, Brown 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

Blue. The Blue version is patterned black and blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

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

Green. Green is an earthy green. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

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

About the Solo 826 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Solo 826 is easy to live with.

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 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Solo 826

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

• 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your Solo 826 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.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 826?

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

Can I use the Solo 826 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.

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-140: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
