The thinnest wire we use, in a plain round, on a frame light enough to forget is in a pocket. Matte black or gunmetal, adjustable pads, no spring in the hinge to keep the weight down.

Thin wire bends, and a reader in a trouser pocket is the frame we see bent most often; the slip case is in the box for a reason. Same power in both eyes, average centres, not a substitute for an eye test.

Care. Rinse, wash, dry with the cloth. Carry it in the slip case.

Worn first. Six of us wore this frame daily for a month before it was listed. The weight and the hinge type above are what we measured, not what the supplier told us.

Orders from €70,00 ship free; below that it is €4,50. Two to three working days in Finland, three to six for most of the EU.

Anything unworn, in its case, can come back within 30 days. Hinges and lens coatings are covered for 2 years. The full policy.

Measured my old pair as the fit guide said, ordered the matching size, and it sat right without a visit to the optician for bending. The weight on the page was the weight on my kitchen scales.

Second frame. The first was glazed by my optician without any fuss - she liked that the demo lens was already the right shape.

Exactly as described, including the part about the coating smudging. It does. The cloth set sorted it, but I would have liked that in bigger letters.
