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. 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.

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!

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 medium rectangle frame is stylish and timeless. The Kirby looks fantastic on most adult faces, and they particularly suit an oval or round shape.

Reviews

I love my Kirby frames and Toppers!!!

"I’m new to pair eyewear!!! I ordered the Kirby frames in clear with my prescription and 6 toppers. I’m in love they fit perfectly and they are so cute. I love how I can change the toppers to match your outfits or just to have fun new looks. I especially love that I now have sun toppers so when I’m driving I no longer have to shield my eyes. I’ve been wanting a pair of these for a long time and I’m so happy I was able to finally get them. I will definitely be ordering more toppers soon. If you’re on the fence take the jump and grab you some they are awesome."

— Danisha W. (5/5)

So easy to order, LOVE MINE!

"Pair makes it so easy to pick your style of frames online. I was worried about how the lenses would turn out because I have lineless progressive lenses & they are perfect. I haven't had any issues with them. I absolutely LOVE all the tops I can get and they constantly have new options to choose from! I have already recommended them to many friends!"

— Judi S. (5/5)

Subtle or Sassy - these have it all

"Contemplated purchasing from Pair for several weeks. I kept returning to my the site and reviewing all the availability. I received these this week and I am absolutely in love with them. I can’t wait to build my topper collection for my frames and love that I can use them as a trendy fashion piece with each outfit."

Clear mixed metal for the WIN!

"After wearing the Murphy for the last three years, I went back to the Kirby this round. I did order the clear in mixed metal. I was so excited when I opened them! Loved them just as much when I put them on. I'm really happy with my choice."

— Lisa C. (5/5)

I love my progressive lenses!!

"The process to order them was seamless and I received then quickly along with thorough communication along the way. They fit well and I love all the toppers. Im addicted!"

— Nailah Q. (5/5)

Smartest Invention Ever!

"I am so in love with my new glasses. Not only can I see clearly in them, but I can accessorize & change the look with all the different toppers (to match my outfits) & do it without breaking the bank. Such a smart idea! I'm so glad I finally placed an order. I'm completely obsessed now."

— Lashawn H. (5/5)

Classically cute

"Love my Kirby frames! They are a classic, simple design that is always a winner. The clear crystal is great because it matches literally any topper (and I now have over 50+ toppers). I don’t often wear just the frames without toppers, but when I do, the clear provides a great neutral option."

— Amanda A. (5/5)

exactly what I paid for!

"this is my second set up pair glasses, I was split between the Murphy and the Kirby. I LOVE the murphy for driving or glasses where I do not want the frames to obstruct my view at all. The Kirby is great for long study sessions and they are not too heavy with the toppers and do no slide off my nose. All in all, if/when I need a new prescription, I would be happy buying from Pair again."

— Emily V. (5/5)

Love love love the mixed material frame.

"This is my second pair of Kirby frames. These are the cutest and look classy as well. Because of the rose gold arms I can dress these up or down for going out or wearing them everyday. The color is elegant and the frame is very comfortable."

— Hillary E. (5/5)

The coolest

"I honestly didn’t think I’d like the way clear frames looked on me but I decided to go for it with these and - I am NOT disappointed! They fit very well and the prescription is perfect. The overlying frames (I got 2) don’t sit directly on the bottom of the frame on one side but it’s by maybe a millimeter if that, so not a huge deal. Will definitely be getting another “pair” in the future."

— Erica A. (5/5)
