X-Eyes Lite 03

X-Eyes Lite 03 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The X-Eyes Lite 03 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 57-17-150, in Black, Brown or Dark Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our X-Eyes Lite range.

Choosing your X-Eyes Lite 03 colour

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

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Dark Gunmetal. Dark Gunmetal is a deep charcoal metal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The X-Eyes Lite 03 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

How it fits

With 57mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 131mm.

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 X-Eyes Lite 03

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

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.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your X-Eyes Lite 03 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

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.

Your questions, answered

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 57mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I use the X-Eyes Lite 03 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.

Who glazes my lenses?
