Choosing the right lens thickness.
The best lens thickness depends on your prescription, frame measurements and chosen style. These descriptions are a general guide, and we review every selection before production.

A quality standard-thickness lens generally suited to lower prescriptions.
Thin & Light 1.60
PopularA thinner, lighter and impact-resistant option suited to many prescriptions.
Super Thin 1.67
Designed to reduce lens thickness and weight for stronger prescriptions.
Ultra Thin 1.74
Our thinnest clear lens option, generally considered for higher prescriptions.
Personal guidance
Unsure which lenses to choose?
You do not need to work it out alone. Every prescription is reviewed by a UK Registered Dispensing Optician. If another option would give you a better result, we will contact you before production begins.
Prices shown are for a pair of prescription lenses and exclude the frame unless stated otherwise. Lens suitability is subject to prescription, frame measurements and technical availability.
