W69

W69 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The W69 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 53-19-140, in Black, Crystal Pink 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.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Crystal Pink. Crystal Pink keeps things simple. It is shown with grey lenses. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. It is shown with grey 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

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The W69 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

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 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the W69

The W69 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 41mm, 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your W69 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.
