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

Cute and comfortable progressives

"I love my new kirby's. They're very comfortable on my nose and ears, and fit my face well. I bought the clear base and am excited to try out new toppers for it."

— Wendy D. (5/5)

I love my glasses. I

"I love my glasses. I had some issues with the way the lenses were sitting in my frame. My eye doctor corrected that for me. I would order again. The toppers are awesome!"

— Darene H. (4/5)

Great shape

"The Kirby is my first Pair and the shape is great. I love the look on my roundish, squareish face. The Basic black is a great base for all the top frames. They are lighter weight than a standard pair of prescription glasses so I'm getting used to that feeling, like forgetting they're on my face!"

— Jacquie P. (5/5)

This company is so helpful

"I got my glasses and had a little trouble with the right eye so I emailed customer service. Within a couple of hours they got back to me & we figured out what I needed to do. They are so helpful and kind. And I LOVE the glasses. Lightweight, trendy yet classic. Can't wait to buy more toppers"

— Renee R. (5/5)

the most fun eyeglasses!

"my pair arrived on time in excellent condition. i love my top is so cute! the first day i wore the eyeglasses + top combo i received many compliments on how cute they were and everyone was blown away by the ease of removing the top. yay! i also love the frame color, it's basic so it's perfect for every day wear. very happy with my purchase, can't wait to get more tops now!"

— Debra C. (5/5)

Love these!!!

"I absolutely love these. The material and lenses r crafted so nicely. They fit perfect on my face which I was scared about with it being a completely online order. However, they do amazing they fit perfect and they r nice n sturdy. Not flimsy at all and the hooks around the ear don’t curve so much u get a headache. Gonna take some getting used to wearing the toppers with the glasses but it’s so cute."

— Kendra P. (5/5)

So Far, So Good

"I've had them for about a week. I got all the bells and whistles but wish the progressive darkness was better and darker. They also smudge a lot easier than my previous glasses, which I'm not used to. Otherwise, I like the look and the versatility they offer."

— David T. (4/5)

I Was SCARED!

"I was very apprehensive about ordering glasses online. I have been looking at these sites for years mainly because they were cheaper than the local eyeglass retail stores. I finally tried and I have to say I am very pleased with the results. Prescription is perfect and frames are very well made. PHEW!!"

— Michael J. (5/5)

Pair is awesome

"Pair Eyewear has been wonderful. I’ve had my first pair for over three years and loved it still have them. This is my second pair the first ones I ordered my PD was incorrect on my part so I sent them back and they redid my lens and gave me a brand new pair. I recommend them 10 out of 10."

— Kathy J. (5/5)

Second Pair, Going Strong

"These are my second pair of Kirby's - I just had to up my prescription. But I was able to get a new pair and still use my old top frames! Plus, it was a good excuse to get some new ones. The magnets on this new pair seem a little stronger than my last, which is nice! I just love the versatility of these glasses - and the compliments I get on them!"

— Rebecca T. (5/5)
