W59

W59 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The W59 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 50-18-145, in Black, Blue or Havana. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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

Havana. In Havana, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

Shape and style

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The W59 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

Frame size and fit

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the W59

The W59 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your W59. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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 the W59 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, varifocal, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Can I get varifocal lenses in the W59?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

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.
