When you buy a rimless frame from us you can choose one of these unique lens shapes to be fitted to your frame, to idealy suit your very own face and life style.

There are 60 unique lens shapesand sizes for EACH of our rimless frames to choose from. They have all been carefully designed by a top designer in the USA to provide a range of classic shapes discreetly maintaining a balanced ratio of lens width to lens height. Progressive lenses need a minimum distance from the bottom of the frame to the distance area of the lens, so if the lens you have chosen for progressives does not have sufficient height, we will increase it for your order. The minimum sizes for progressive lensesare shown below each image. 

If you feel confident of your design skills, you may submit your own lens shape and size and we'll scan it into our computerize lens edging machine and have the exact shape and size fitted to your frame of choice. Fill in “the special instruction to the optometrist” just before checkout, then email us the shape and we will custom make your lenses according to your instructions. Please See our 6 Steps in choosing your own custom lens size. Be careful to choose sizes that are in proportion to the shape of the lens, also consult our recommendations on which frame shape suits your particular face.

6 Steps to choose your own custom lens size

1. Measure the width of your existing frame or measure the width of your face.
2. Subtract 5mm from this measurement so your lenses are set in from the frame
3. Note the bridge width of the Rimless frame you have chosen.
4. Subtract the bridge width from the width of your face.
5. Divide this answer by 2 and
6. You now have the maximum width of lenses you can choose.

Example:

1. width of old glasses is 130mm
2. 130 - 5 = 125
3. the bridge width of the frames I like is 19mm
4. 125-19 = 106
5. 106 divided by 2 = 53 mm
6. The maximum width (A) I can choose for my lenses is 53mm
