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
  • 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!

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!

The Larkin

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

Only a couple of gripes

"I can see again! I was very skeptical about this process but it was real easy. The best part is I received quality eye glasses for a fraction of what it would cost through normal channels. I really like the TOPS I chose. Sunglasses without the hardware and bulk. I do have two negatives though. 1) the Tops are so thin and light, a small wind blows them off much too easily. I can’t wear them if I’m in a car at speed with the windows down!! 2) There wasn't an option to choose a set of frames to fit my face! I got as close as I could, but the frames are much too narrow. It’s like wearing child glasses!! I even tried to include a note with the correct width, which was obviously overlooked!!"

Larkin

"I’ve been wanting to get these for so long! I love the idea of these! Saves so much space and money too. I wish these frames were a little bigger though. When I did the virtual try on, they seemed a bit bigger on my face."

— Olga L. (4/5)

Awesome product and Service

"This is my 4th pair of these glasses and they are wonderful. And Pair is the very best company that I have had the pleasure to deal with in quite awhile. Their customer service is absolutely amazing. If you are having 2nd thoughts don’t you will not regret it."

— Sherrie C. (5/5)

Love these glasses!

"We ordered from the Pair website once we heard that they had a variety of Disney/Pixar magnetic frames to choose from. Our adult son is autistic and he is very picky about his glasses. When he knew that he could choose different Disney/Pixar frames, we knew that he would keep his classes on all the time!🥰 We were so happy when they arrived, and he loves them! The website was easy to navigate through and we were very happy with the quality of the glasses too!"

— Annie C. (5/5)

Larkin blue light readers

"These glasses are amazing. After ordering and buying so many pairs of readers, these are so clear, so much clearer than other other pair I have bought. I also purchased two top frames in purple and blush and I LOVE the fun colors and how they easily attach to the frame. I have already started picking out a few more colors to change up my looks daily. 💯 recommend!"

— Jennifer T. (5/5)

Larkin RX review

"I was very hesitant about ordering prescription glasses online. I had ordered before from another company and my prescription was awful. However, my prescription glasses from Pair were perfection. Being able to change the look is so fun. I also like being able to just clip on the sunglasses. I have gotten many compliments from so many people and I always tell people them about Pair"

— Christine B. (5/5)

Very happy with the fit

"Very happy with the fit and the look. My daughter has had them a few years and I finally decided to try them So far very happy especially the sunglasses work really well with the glare and sun. I have sensitivities to light and so I’ve very happy."

— Rosalie C. (5/5)

Love the Concept

"I found these advertised on Facebook and did some research. I needed sunglasses with prescription lens to see while driving but didn’t want to spend the money on sunglasses alone. These fit the bill to just get another pair of glasses and add the various toppers. I just purchased the frames with progressive lens and 1 sun top to start. I’ve had them a few days now and I’m still adjusting to them as I had my last pair of glasses for years. I do love the compact sun top that I can slip in my pocket or bag and just snap on whenever. I just ordered another sun top and 2 fashion tops yesterday. Looking forward to trying new styles. If I had one request, it would be that I could pop the lens into other colored frames of the same style. I purchased the tortoise color base frame and don’t think some of the toppers will look great with the tortoise. Would like to have a clear frame and be able to switch out the progressive lens. I reached out to customer service to see if I could pop them out safety but the AI bot said no."

Awesome Eyeglasses!

"My daughter and I both bought a pair of The Larkin in mixed material. These are the best eyeglasses ever! We both can see perfectly well through them, and they were delivered in just a couple of weeks. We bought 10 tops including 2 sunglasses tops, and they all look and feel great. My daughter is getting married in a month, so we bought tops that matched the wedding decor and dresses. We couldn't be happier with these glasses. We are Pair customers for life!"

— Deanna L. (5/5)

Newbie

"I was unsure how I was going to like glasses with frames because I’ve always worn frameless but I was so intrigued by being able to change frame designs I decided to give it a try. It took a minute but I can honestly say I am very happy with my decision to try them. So much so that I plan on ordering another complete pair (different style) here in the future."

— Danna W. (5/5)
