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.

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!

The Kirby

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)

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)

Love Them!!

"Ordered my daughter a pair of glasses. Was jealous so I finally ordered myself a pair after4 years!! Customer service was excellent. Sent in my contact prescription and they emailed me to get everything correct!! Will definitely be getting more toppers and maybe another pair!!"

— Kristy M. (5/5)

Love the Pink!

"I absolutely LOVE my new frames, the Kirby, in this glamorous, sparkle pink! I am changing from the Larkin and I definitely think these fit my face better. I also have the Wanda which I will never give up! 🩷"

— Rebecca B. (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)

Excellent quality

"I love these frames, they fit my face perfectly (medium) and the pink tortoise looks so good with my skin tone. Nice durable frames, excellent quality."

— Dorothy W. (5/5)

Wow! Incredible

"These are amazing. I was in the optical industry for 20 years and was concerned lenses wouldn’t be right. As soon as I put them on I could see clearly. Then added the topper for style. Awesome!!"

— Brenda S. (5/5)

Love them

"Love them. I would say the one downfall is they are nots store where you can stop in and have them adjusted. I would buy another pair though. I love being able to have sunglasses and regular glasses without keeping up with 2 pairs of frames at the same time. Much easier to just remove or add on the sun topper."

— Tiffany K. (4/5)

The Kirby Frames

"I love my Kirby frames as I have 2 pair. A black & clear. I live the fit for my face, they are light weight and so far pretty durable."

— Stephanie C. (5/5)
