Frame & fit

  • A magnetic technology that connects and disconnects glasses at the bridge of the nose.

  • An expandable adjustment which slides open and closed at the temples, providing additional length for a more customized fit.

  • Reliable hinges between the lens and arm of the glasses which fold down, allowing glasses to lay open around the neck.

  • With a slight pull on the back of the headband, the frame expands in width for larger head sizes.

  • A 35° extension between the lenses and temples, modifying the style for a slightly wider fit across the face.

  • Cushions inside the frame that prevent pressure on sensitive areas like the bridge of the nose.

  • A soft headband style with flexible material that allows the glasses to fold completely into a case.

Headbands

  • Durable, firm headband material which contours with a typical head shape and withstands the roughest care.

  • Flexible, elastomeric material which hugs the back of the head to accommodate all movement and positioning.

  • A blend between our rigid and soft headbands — semi-flexible, but not foldable.

Lenses

  • A lens coating that improves vision, reduces eye strain, and helps eliminate reflections from the front and back lens surfaces.

  • A treatment that further filters light for clearer, more accurate vision with less glare.

  • A lens with two focal points — the top for distance, the lower portion for up-close viewing.

  • Acrylic lenses that can be replaced with your own prescription through a CliC optical partner or your local eyecare provider.

Materials

  • Frames produced with bio-based, sustainable materials which are biodegradable and created from biomass.
