Ten Banana

Ten Banana Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Ten Banana is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame in Black, Purple or Pink/Peach. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Top Banana collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Purple. The Purple version is translucent lilac. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Pink/Peach. Pink/Peach mixes pink and peach. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

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

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Ten Banana is easy to live with. The Ten Banana also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

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 Ten Banana

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

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.

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 Ten Banana. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Your questions, answered

Is the Ten Banana 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.

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.
