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!

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 cat-eye frame is chock-full of bubbly charm. The ella looks fantastic on most adult faces, and they particularly suit an oval, round, square, heart, diamond, or triangle shape.

Reviews

First Timer: Progressive Pride!

"I have been ogling PAIRS for years, sighing over the fun toppers (especially premiums and colourful tops). This year I needed progressives, and my sensitive blue eyes are always crying in the sun so suntoppers were a massive incentive to choose PAIRS, as were the mixed material options. I wear silver jewelry so picked the clear with silver arms, and I chose ELLA for my narrow face (exact same cat eyes as my previous traditional frames, but PAIRS are quite flat where my previous frames had a slight curve. I think the metal arms look a bit more upscale. Really pleased with the progressive lenses, love my toppers. Ella feels playful and feminine. Only downsides: they slide a bit down my nose, as I’m used to traditional metal frames with nose pads. I’m Canadian and paid $20 extra for quick shipping. Arrived a day ahead of expectations!"

— Erin S. (5/5)

Great glasses!

"I couldn't live my Ella's anymore! This is actually my second pair of them, as I neglected to get the transition lenses on my first pair. The script is perfect, though being my first pair of transition lenses, I'm still adjusting to them. Great quality and fit. . . couldn't ask for any better!"

— India D. (5/5)

PAIR is great!

"I am wearing prescription glasses for the first time in my life and a friend had PAIR glasses that I commented on. So when I decided to go ahead and get my prescription filled I went online with PAIR. I am loving my new glasses and I also love that I can change up my look with the simple addition of a topper, they are so fun. I will be recommending them to everyone."

— Kathleen N. (5/5)

Different but love

"It took a few days to get used to the new frames because they were different than my old glasses, They are a little loose and I haven’t been able to find anyone able to tighten them for me yet. I’m not used to seeing the frames so much in my periphery, but I love how they look and I’m having so much fun with the toppers. I change with my outfits. I have 5 that I really would like to have but they are STILL out of stock!"

— Melissa M. (4/5)

Finally cat eye glasses that aren’t huge!!!

"These frames are so feminine and cute! Not over exaggerated or huge. I got tortoise frame. Love love love these. I saw WildFern on YouTube wearing them. Not crazy about the tortoise shell sunglass topper though, it’s a picture not actually a colored frame. Going to pick up the black sunglass topper. If you’re on the fence, buy them! So happy I did."

— Nicole D. (5/5)

Ella for the WIN

"I just received my very first Pair order. I chose the Ella frame in black, plus 6 additional toppers. I’m loving everything about these frames! I own many pairs of glasses, but Ella is now my new go to. I’m so happy! Absolutely worth waiting for. Thank you for such a fun eyewear concept."

— Elizabeth B. (5/5)

Who doesn't love pink sparkles???

"I've been a proud Ella wearer for 5 years, and I'm in love with the new colors of frames. I had to get the pink sparkles! They are so much fun. I think this is the longest I've gone without toppers!!! I love the pink color with the subtle sparkle. So great for everyday wear but also pairs beautifully with all my toppers. Definitely recommend!!"

— Justine H. (5/5)

Ella is the way to go!

"The mixed material Ella fits all my toppers. I have too many toppers to switch shapes which is totally okay cause I love Ella. The ability to change my style every day to match my clothes and mood is my favorite part of Pair and wearing glasses."

— Jennie K. (5/5)

Gorgeous Glasses

"These are absolutely perfect -- sturdy, great color, well-designed, and comfortable. I love how great they look on their own or with toppers. A super classy accessory that also helps me navigate the world. :)"

— Danielle C. (5/5)

good for a smallish face

"My face is oval and on the small side of average. This frame fits my face and nice eyes nicely without taking over or overwhelming my features. I thought the style would be too extreme retro for me, but it looks good."

— Melanie N. (5/5)
