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

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

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"

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."

— Melanie P. (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)

Perfect

"I just really hated the glasses that I got from LensCrafters. I usually go for ray ban frames and the person helping me steered me away from them and I regret listening to her. I got a very expensive pair of glasses that I hated. So I gave pair a try and liked the ability to change frame styles based on outfit instead of feeling like I had to find a universally matching frame. And the ability to throw on a sunglasses top frame is amazing rather than having to buy a separate prescription sunglasses pair. I’m officially converted to Pair"

— Sarah V. (5/5)

First Glasses from Pair Eyewear

"These glasses fit great. I have always been a fan of the magnetic top glasses but thought they were out of my price range. Enter pair with the affordable option. I will be getting new toppers soon for my glasses. Best online experience for getting glasses."

— Eddie C. (5/5)

Best decision

"With having toddlers and glasses do not go so well if I have to change from indoors to outdoors. I love I can just add my sunglasses top on and go about my day. They feel great and look great. Easy and no fuss of going back and forth of different glasses. Will be buying more tops soon to match my Halloween mood."

— Michelle m. (5/5)

Quality issue

"When sunglasses were received, there is a gap between the right lens and the frame. This is not what I would expect from a pair of sunglasses at this price point. Support has been requested but I have had no response. With a quality issue and no response, 1 star is the best I can give."

— Mike L. (1/5)

Lots of fun!

"Recently retired, I purchased The Larkin for my music and computer glasses. The fit is comfortable, the case is great and has room for the top frames, and now my glasses can reflect my mood - whether Ursula if I'm grumpy, Toy Story if I'm in fun mood, or something more "appropriate" like a plain frame for the concert stage. Or the Chicago Cubs if they win a game . . ."

— Shelley C. (5/5)

Excited to receive

"I was super excited to receive my order, and overall, I’m very happy with my purchase! The customer service was excellent—they asked questions, communicated well, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. I had been saving up for these glasses for a while, and they definitely did not disappoint. They look great, and I’m so excited to finally have them! My only small complaint is that the toppers don’t sit completely flush against the frame. When I look down, I can see a slight color difference/gap between the topper and the frame. Other than that, I’m very pleased with my order and the overall experience!"

— Kristy W. (4/5)

First time ordering

"I am so happy with the glasses and the frames that I’ve received that the day after I got them I ordered some other snap on frames They’re so reasonably priced. It makes it so fun to be able to change them out very happy and will definitely refer anybody that asks me."

— Lesley S. (5/5)
