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.

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 Murphy

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 wide square frame has an oversized, new-fashioned feel. The Murphy looks fantastic on most adult faces, and they particularly suit an oval, heart, oblong, or triangle shape.

Reviews

Murphy frames for the win!

"I’m obsessed with my Murphy frames from Pair! They’re stylish, fun, and give just the right amount of personality without trying too hard. I love that I can switch up my look depending on my look. The fit is comfortable, the quality is great, and I’ve already gotten compliments. If you’re thinking about trying Pair, consider this your sign!"

— Amy G. (5/5)

Murphy’s Law Need Not Apply to These Beauts

"I recently ordered my first set of Pairs (the Murphy in Black. ) I’m in love. First, when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and deliberate design of their packaging. It immediately felt like a higher quality product just by the postage box alone. Then, the frames… they are sturdy and well designed & I’d swear they were sprayed with RainX before they got packaged because I haven’t had to wipe them off once (something I’m constantly doing with my other non-Pair frames). Truly impressed by these frames and hav received many compliments already. I’m excited to rock out all the fun new toppers too! This is the perfect accessory for someone facilitating in front of groups each day, like myself! Highly recommend!"

A Perfect Everyday Pair!

"The Murphy – Forte is such a classic, effortlessly stylish frame! I love the timeless shape and the way they have just enough personality without being over the top. They’re comfortable, flattering, and easy to wear with just about anything. Definitely a pair I can reach for again and again!"

— Amy C. (5/5)

The Murphy

"I have never had glasses in my life and at 45 years old I thought this would be a challenge. I was nervous about the process but the online orders was straight forward and walked me through step by step. They arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be more pleased. Now I have to stock up on toppers for all the holidays and occasions."

— Megan B. (5/5)

Love the versatility!

"These are amazing frames. It is my second base frame in Murphy but a different color. I have lots of toppers for this and one other base frame. I love how they fit and feel and that they can be switched up to make your style or mood or even to be sunglasses."

— Heather K. (5/5)

Love these glasses!

"I am loving these Murphys. This is my first pair of pair eyewear and I love that I can just put a sunglasses topper on my glasses so easily! And also can accessorize in such fun ways! The glasses fit great and are super cute. I will definitely be buying more toppers for them!"

— DANIELLE D. (5/5)

The Murphy RX

"I received my Murphy Glasses yesterday 9/1/26. So far I’m enjoying them, my prescription on the glasses is correct and I’m enjoying the different top frames I ordered, I used the sunglasses topper this morning and it worked fabulously! The only con I have is that the Murphy slides off my nose a bit and I’ll have to order some nose guards to help prevent my glasses from slipping and breaking but other than that so far I’m enjoying my prescription glasses."

— Imelda J. (4/5)

My New Fav!

"This frame is GORGEOUS! In my opinion, the warm neutral color would look good on anyone! If you ever feel hesitant about having Pair fill your eye prescription, don't! They have filled mine twice with no issues! I have progressives with premium lenses at a fraction of the price."

— Michele S. (5/5)

Great buy!

"The Murphy is my first Pair Eyewear set of glasses. I purchased two sun tops to go with them and couldn’t be happier! I really just wanted sunglasses but I I got a new set of glasses with two different sunglasses for $300 less than one pair of eyeglasses I picked out at my doctors office. The prescription is spot on and being able to easily switch to sunglasses is so fun 🤩"

— Spring L. (5/5)

Great glasses!

"I tried another company like this with the sun toppers and I have to return them and I came back to pair eyewear because they get the prescription right! The frames are very sturdy!! Love them!!"
