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!

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

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)

Comfortable

"Comfortable and good quality, I love them! Can’t wait to get another pair! My only complaint is that the plastic-ish material feels a little cheap and I’m afraid of it scratching. The toppers are nice, but also a little flimsy and don’t have very strong magnets. But overall, I am very happy with them and will be buying more!"

— Jared S. (5/5)

Loving them!

"This was my first time buying prescription glasses online instead of at the optometrist’s office, so I was nervous that I wouldn’t like them in person, but they are great! Can’t wait to get some fun toppers to dress them up a bit."

— Amber S. (5/5)

Obsessed

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely LOVE my Kirby Style Pair Eyewear! 🕶️✨ I am seriously OBSESSED with these glasses! The frames are so cute, stylish, and comfortable, but my favorite part has to be the magnetized sunglasses frame! 😍 Being able to snap the sunglasses right onto my regular glasses is SO convenient—no more carrying around a separate pair or constantly switching glasses. The magnetic attachment is strong, easy to put on and take off, and makes going from indoors to outdoors so effortless. Plus, they look amazing together! 👏 The quality, style, comfort, and convenience are all a 10/10 for me. These have quickly become my everyday go-to glasses, and I get compliments on them all the time! 💕 If you’ve been thinking about trying Kirby Style Pair Eyewear, DO IT—you won’t regret it! 🙌✨"

— Faith R. (5/5)

Cute and comfortable progressives

"I love my new kirby's. They're very comfortable on my nose and ears, and fit my face well. I bought the clear base and am excited to try out new toppers for it."

— Wendy D. (5/5)

Awesome glasses

"These are very comfortable and fit my face very well. I got the pink glitter and they are just so cute! I am actually liking wearing my glasses for the first time in a while."

— Kelsey V. (5/5)

Perfect Pair!

"I love my new glasses. I was worried that the prescription might be off but they were perfect! I also enjoy being able to “change” my glasses up so easily."

— Tiffany C. (5/5)

Fun! But some concerns

"I love the frames. They came out as I’d hoped/expected in terms of size. The lenses work well. The toppers are fun, but hard to see around when looking down, especially since there’s a gap between the toppers and the bottom half of the frames. The magnets are not very strong, so the toppers get knocked off easily"

— Molly B. (3/5)

Easy decision to go with Pair!

"Love these frames! They’re the perfect fit for my face, and the gold arms add just the right amount of flair to give them a dressier look. I also love being able to accessorize my outfits with all of the different topper options—it’s like having multiple pairs of glasses in one! I essentially got 3 pairs right off the bat. The variety of toppers made choosing this pair an easy decision, and I love the balance between classic, stylish, and fun. Such a great accessory for any outfit!"

— Allyson D. (5/5)

I love my glasses. I

"I love my glasses. I had some issues with the way the lenses were sitting in my frame. My eye doctor corrected that for me. I would order again. The toppers are awesome!"

— Darene H. (4/5)
