Solo 835

Solo 835 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Solo 835 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 48-18-140, in Blue. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo collection.

The colour

Blue. In Blue, the frame is blue fade. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

About the Solo 835 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

The Solo 835 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

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

At 48mm 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 114mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Solo 835

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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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 835 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 835?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Solo 835 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 48mm 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.
