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.

  • These lenses can be made to correct distance, intermediate or near vision as a single focus lens

Progressives

  • 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!

The Handy Lens Add-Ons

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 narrow, modified cat-eye frame is chock-full of bubbly charm. The ella looks fantastic on most adult faces, and they particularly suit an oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or triangle shape.

Reviews

Fun and comfortable

"I finally took the leap and got a pair. I love the color and they are very light and comfortable. I bought a few tops including a sunglasses one and so far I love them all. I usually wear the same pair of glasses for a few years before I have to replace them so the price point here wasn't bad for being able to switch the tops to play with the style."

— Laciebug W. (5/5)

Love my purple crystal frames!

"I absolutely love these frames! The purple is gorgeous and i love the rose gold stems. I originally bought the burgundy and liked them, but I like these ones even more. Weird, because I generally am not a fan of either crystal frames or gradients, but these are actually super freaking cute. Love the weight of the mixed materials, too."

— Z K. (5/5)

Finally purchased fun eyewear for myself!

"I am loving The ella and my toppers so far. I was extremely eager to receive my package in the mail, and when I got the notification that it arrived, I dropped everything to run to the mailbox! The ella is a shape I've never considered for myself before, but I decided to give it a try -- and I love it! My husband does too :-) The toppers are easy to use and I can't believe how many styles there are. And it's a bonus that the sunglasses stack on top of the color topper, so it's super easy!"

— Natalie H. (5/5)

Fantastic !

"First, I must thank PAIR for their amazing support, understanding and prompt customer service. My new glasses fit great and the lenses are perfect. They are lightweight and comfortable. My new reflective sunglass topper is getting great ”cool” reviews from my friends. The topper has strong magnetic ability. I am a very happy long term customer! 😎"

— Debra C. (5/5)

I’m a purple person and

"I’m a purple person and was really excited when Ella finally came out in lavender! I was a little concerned about the color being visible enough, as the pink Ellas are not really pink but a blush-tinted clear. These really are lavender, though! I love them 💜"

— Michelle R. (5/5)

Perfectly Clear Ella Mixed Metal

"I love the Ella Mixed Metal. The clear with the silver arms are classy can be worn with everything. This will be my third Ella frame and my First Mixed Metal. They fit well and all my previous and new toppers fit perfectly!"

— helene w. (5/5)

Such a fun base frame!

"I have been waiting for the purple confetti tortoise to come back in stock for Ellas, and they did not disappoint! They look classy like all tortoiseshell do, but they've got the pop of purple for some fun whimsy. I absolutely love them!"

— Cat O. (5/5)

review

"The color is amazing. This is my 3rd pair of glass' , I love changing my look with the frames and its so easy to do. Thank you giving me a thousand different looks for half the price of actually owning a 1,000 pairs of glasses. Takes up way less space too!"

— Tonia L. (5/5)

Love My PairEyeWear

"I have had Pair Eyewear for years! Specifically, the Ella, which has a classic shape and functions for all occasions. My previous last 2 pair, have taken a beating because I am not gentle with them, and work a demanding job. My Toppers provide me with individuality, style, fun and fashion. My prescriptions are always spot-on and I have truly had an excellent experience with this company."

— Sue W. (5/5)

New Ella is so stylish!

"I really like the new colors and design of this Ella. I previously bought the clear Ella. I love it by itself but I am happy that all of my great toppers fit this Ella too."

— Laura F. (5/5)
