UN7117

UN7117 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The UN7117 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 55-17-145, in Blue, Matt Purple or Red. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Uniq collection.

Choosing your UN7117 colour

Blue. The Blue version is patterned blue and teal. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Matt Purple. The Matt Purple version is patterned purple and red. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Red. The Red version is red tortoiseshell. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Shape and style

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the UN7117 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 UN7117

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

• 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.

At 46mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

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 UN7117 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.

Looking after them

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 UN7117?

Yes. The 46mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the UN7117 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
