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

The Handy Lens Add-Ons

Enhance your Pair with these lens extras!

Proper selection and use of eyewear is critical to your eye safety.

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

Almost perfect 🥲

"I love The Murphy frame! The fit is perfect and the magnetic system is great — even the black topper looks super sleek. I gave 4 stars only because the tortoise topper looks a bit cheap up close, you can tell the pattern is printed. Would love a more translucent / layered tortoise option. Otherwise, obsessed!"

— Richmon R. (4/5)

So Cute & Versitile!

"I purchased these glasses because I’ve had issues with dry eyes wearing contacts. Because it is summer, I was tired of squinting in my glasses when going outside. The sole purpose of this purchase was so that I could have sun tops that didn’t look like granny clip on glasses. These frames exceeded expectation! They are cute, functional, and so versatile!"

— Alexandra S. (5/5)

Looooove

"I love the color. It’s very subtle and transparent in a way. All the frames I have now fit perfectly and look great on this color. Absolutely love them. The transition works well and most of the time I don’t even notice it has happened then I take my glasses off in the sun and immediately put them back on because they help so much with the brightness"

— Renee E. (5/5)

Murphy for the win!!!

"Been wanting Pair eyewear for a while now. I originally wanted the Wanda, but once I tried them on I wasn’t to impressed. Then I tried on the Murphy and instantly fell in love with them. My husband loved them on me too. Very stylish and look great with the sunglasses toppers."

— Lourdes R. (5/5)

Aging with style

"After decades of contacts, I finally found a pair of glasses that offers as much diversity as I crave. I’m loving the base frames and toppers already! Slips a little off the nose, but hopefully that will be an easy fix. My tired eyes are so grateful for my Pair eyewear."

Love my murphy

"After waiting very impatiently for 12 whole days my order finally arrived. I am thrilled to say they were worth the wait. My clear framed Murphys look great on my face. Love that with no toppers the frames are very much in the background. Add the bright red topper I ordered and the glasses come forward and make a real statement. I am looking forward to adding holiday toppers to my collection in the very near future."

— Marie R. (5/5)

Bold and fun

"Bold and fun shape! Nice oversized frame that fits well with lots of shapes of faces. I love the black, as I can wear it without a topper and still look professional."

— Kelley H. (5/5)

My favorite frames

"I bought these years ago, I updated my prescription and knew I instantly needed to get a new updated pair and I also snuck in another pair of the Sotos as well. Best brand, best frames!"

— Alex C. (5/5)

Worth the money

"I just purchased The Murphy along with 3 toppers, and so far, I love them! The magnet is a little sensitive and can fly off if not careful, but otherwise I really like them. I'm telling all my friends about them, and I've gotten compliments on how they look. Will probably purchase another frame shape just to mix things up. Ordering on the website could be more user friendly, but overall a good experience. Quick turnaround when I finally submitted all my details. Will probably purchase another frame shape just to mix things up."

— Dolly B. (4/5)

all purpose eyewear

"I love my "Pair" glasses. They fit great and the topper options make them all purpose. I can wear them with a tinted polarized topper while driving during the day and wear them with no topper or any non-lense topper driving at night, watching TV or a movie, or switch toppers to match what I'm wearing. I love them."

— Russell C. (5/5)
