W68

W68 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The W68 is a pair of unisex full-rim rounded square sunglasses, sized 53-19-145, in Black or Havana. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Solo range.

Black or Havana: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. It is shown with grey lenses. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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

Shape and style

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces.

The W68 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the W68

The W68 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your W68. 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the W68?

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

What size is it?

It is size 53-19-145: 53mm lens width, 19mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

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

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
