X-Eyes Lite 27

X-Eyes Lite 27 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The X-Eyes Lite 27 is a women’s full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-140, in Purple & Tort, Red & Blue or Teal & Tort. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our X-Eyes Lite range.

Choosing your X-Eyes Lite 27 colour

Purple & Tort. Purple & Tort pairs purple with tort. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Red & Blue. The Red & Blue version is red that fades to blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Teal & Tort. Teal & Tort pairs teal with tort. 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.

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the X-Eyes Lite 27 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 X-Eyes Lite 27

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

• 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.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

Your X-Eyes Lite 27 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.

A little care goes a long way

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.
