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.

Progressives

The Handy Lens Add-Ons

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!

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 rectangle frame is a fan-favorite. The Larkin looks fantastic on most adult and older kids’ faces, and they particularly suit an oval or round shape.

Reviews

Best Ever Glasses

"I love my new glasses. I was worried about the progressive lenses being lined up correctly, but Pairs Eyewear nailed it. And of course the fun of changing out frames is amazing. I especially like the fact that the toppers lie flat and are easily stored without a bulky glass case. With the added sunglass topper, I can easily slip on sunglasses while driving without having to switch out from regular glasses to sun ones. Thanks"

In Love ❤️

"I absolutely ♥️ my larkin Pair eye glasses. I can see better than I've seen in years. I think they performed a miracle with my subscription. Not only can I see, I can be creative with changing the look. I'm never bored and as an extra bonus I got a Pokémon topper. Yay! How fun! Thank you Pair!!"

Great size for pre-teen & teen

"We have purchased multiple pairs of the Larkin for my eldest son. The size is great for him. He is currently 13 and been wearing them for over a year. Also his younger brother got jealous and has a pair with clear lenses and those also fit his face. I appreciate the price point because my son is not gentle on his frames and goes through two or more a year, and this is cheaper than using insurance! He likes that he can use different toppers, but prefers clear most of the time. Here is his 8th grade school photo complete with teenaged angst."

Customer for life

"I was skeptical purchasing glasses I never tried on, but the virtual try on was a huge help. I also have kind of a complicated progressive prescription that they nailed perfectly. I am a pair customer for life! I wore the Vincent stripes topper on my first time out with them and got two compliments on my two hour shopping trip. I have since ordered several more. I’m hooked! My base is the clear/mixed Larkin."

New glasses

"I received my new glasses yesterday and really like them. I was concerned about ordering online but they fit well and my prescription is correct. I received 2 tops… one sunglasses and one Peacock blue. I love how they go with the crystal frame. All in all, I am quite impressed."

— Cheryl O. (5/5)

Love them! Perfect fit. Great quality lens.

"Pair was recommended to me by a friend when I commented on her cool frames. Decided to try them out with my readers. Love them! The frame system is ssuch a great idea, with so many fun options. And the quality of the lenses is great. The fit is perfect. I had minor concerns about it as I have a wide face and some frames fit small. The medium width of The Larkin is perfect. Waiting for a prescription update before I try them out on my distance lenses, but I can definitely see me becoming a Top Frame addict!"

I LUV EM!!

"I was very pleased with the order I received. The colors were vibrant, the fit was perfect, and the Mickey toppers were adorable! Thank you!"

— Lisa W. (5/5)

Nice fit and very fast!

"Ordered these the day of my exam and had them in my mailbox in a matter of days. Great correspondence regarding questions at any point. This is the second pair of glasses I have ordered. The only complaint I could have is that I wish the toppers were a little more affordable as most customers would by many. But great and reliable product. Very happy."

— Robert K. (5/5)

Absolutely amazing

"I got my glasses in with the topper I ordered and they are both amazing. I love the look of the glasses alone but the topper just fits my personality and absolutely cant wait to buy more toppers to match the seasons and outfits. Definitely best glasses purchase ever!"

— Lisa H. (5/5)

Versatile and look great!

"My daughter needs glasses all the time and she loves that these allow for her to wear sunglasses when needed or the gaming tops for when she is doing something on the computer or a screen. I love that they are protecting her eyes and she loves the versatility and the ease of use to be able to change toppers. For someone who needs to wear glasses all the time this is such a game changer!"
