The Prescription Lens Lineup

Here’s our prescription lens lowdown!

Proper selection and use of eyewear is critical to your eye safety. If your occupation, sports, or other activities expose you to the risk of flying objects or physical impact, your eye safety may require the use of special spectacle lens materials. We strongly recommend the use of impact resistant Standard lenses simply because your safety, vision and the health of your eyes is our main concern. Eyeglass lenses made from Basic or Premium materials are not as impact resistant as our Standard material.

Single-Vision

  • For prescriptions from -14.50D to +5.00D
  • These lenses can be made to correct distance, intermediate or near vision as a single focus lens
  • High quality UV-blocking lens materials available
  • Including our premium Anti-Reflection coatings, which are also scratch-resistant and easy to clean

Progressives

  • Our Premium quality varifocals/progressives are made using Digital Freeform Technology
  • These are the upgrade to old bifocals and trifocals
  • If your prescription had an ADD value and you are over 40 these would be ideal for you!
  • All of your visual needs taken care of in one lens, from closely reading a book to cruising down the road, do it all in your varifocal Pair
  • Including our Premium anti-reflection coatings, which are also scratch-resistant and easy to cleans

The Handy Lens Add-Ons

Enhance your Pair with these lens extras!

Proper selection and use of eyewear is critical to your eye safety. If your occupation, sports, or other activities expose you to the risk of flying objects or physical impact, your eye safety may require the use of special spectacle lens materials.

Blue-Light Filtering

Blue-light lenses filter out potentially harmful rays of visible light that are typically emitted during screen time and by the sun. If you spend a good chunk of time looking at your go-to electronic devices, this lens can reduce your exposure to blue-light and may help with eye fatigue and sleep issues.

Light Responsive

If you’re quickly moving from indoors to outdoors, it can be a hassle to have to swap out your glasses. These photochromic lenses darken when they hit UV light. This tint will deepen as the rays become stronger, making this Pair very practical!

The Murphy

Series

What are Tops Frames?

Add personality to your Pair with hundreds of swappable Top Frames that instantly snap onto your Base Frame. We have tops in unique patterns, bold colors, Sun Tops, and classics!

How Do Top Frames Attach to Base Frames?

The magic is in the magnets. Two invisible, ultra-lightweight magnets (we’re talking < 1 gram), cover the top left and right corners of the frames, firmly attaching the top frame.

What Are Top Frames Made Out Of?

Durable, injected-molded plastic.

How Thick Are Top Frames?

2mm. Our goal is to have our Pair Family seeing 20–20, so our Tops will not obstruct your vision.

How Heavy is a Top Frame?

The weight of a single Top Frame ranges from 2.6 to 3.5 grams, depending on the model. That’s lighter than a teaspoon of sugar! Our Sun Tops will typically add an additional 2–3 grams due to their lenses.

This wide square frame has an oversized, new-fashioned feel. The Murphy looks fantastic on most adult faces, and they particularly suit an oval, heart, oblong, or triangle shape.

Reviews

Love the versatility!

"These are amazing frames. It is my second base frame in Murphy but a different color. I have lots of toppers for this and one other base frame. I love how they fit and feel and that they can be switched up to make your style or mood or even to be sunglasses."

— Heather K. (5/5)

Love these glasses!

"I am loving these Murphys. This is my first pair of pair eyewear and I love that I can just put a sunglasses topper on my glasses so easily! And also can accessorize in such fun ways! The glasses fit great and are super cute. I will definitely be buying more toppers for them!"

— DANIELLE D. (5/5)

The Murphy RX

"I received my Murphy Glasses yesterday 9/1/26. So far I’m enjoying them, my prescription on the glasses is correct and I’m enjoying the different top frames I ordered, I used the sunglasses topper this morning and it worked fabulously! The only con I have is that the Murphy slides off my nose a bit and I’ll have to order some nose guards to help prevent my glasses from slipping and breaking but other than that so far I’m enjoying my prescription glasses."

— Imelda J. (4/5)

My New Fav!

"This frame is GORGEOUS! In my opinion, the warm neutral color would look good on anyone! If you ever feel hesitant about having Pair fill your eye prescription, don't! They have filled mine twice with no issues! I have progressives with premium lenses at a fraction of the price."

— Michele S. (5/5)

Great buy!

"The Murphy is my first Pair Eyewear set of glasses. I purchased two sun tops to go with them and couldn’t be happier! I really just wanted sunglasses but I I got a new set of glasses with two different sunglasses for $300 less than one pair of eyeglasses I picked out at my doctors office. The prescription is spot on and being able to easily switch to sunglasses is so fun 🤩"

— Spring L. (5/5)

An Instant Classic

"I have had 5 other base frames before trying Murphy and I think this is my favorite one so far. The color is outstanding. I like that the metal arms allowed me to adjust the fit myself easily. They are stunning, with or without top frames on them."

— Kristin G. (5/5)

I love them!! I had

"I love them!! I had to take them in immediately to get tightened, but that's as expected. Its also something you can easily do at home, but I didn't want to break them!! They are super cute, comfortable, and as far as I'm concerned, pretty durable. My prescription was perfectly created, I'm grateful. Thank you for your time!! Will recommend, and will buy again!"

— MacKenzie A. (5/5)

Gorgeous!

"These glasses are so beautiful. The deep burgundy red is stunning without toppers. They're even more amazing with them. I love them so much!! This is my second pair of frames from Pair, and it won't be my last. I already have my eye on a third. 😀"

— Lashawn H. (5/5)

Murphy glasses!

"Really love these frames and the toppers are SO fun to change out for new looks! I also received excellent customer service when I had any questions - this was my first time ordering glasses with Pair and it was a great experience!"

— Rachel M. (5/5)

REBECCA SISSON

"My prescription is for monofocal lenses and, of course, my brain is having to re-wire itself to adjust to these lenses, but I cannot say how pleased I am with the service, the swift fulfillment and ease of ordering. I've been looking for this type glasses for months and finally decided to go for it. I'm glad I chose Pair. I have around 14 toppers already. Love these fashion accessories."

— Rebecca S. (5/5)
