Model wearing Faded Days Gent 165mm XXL prescription glasses for wide heads.

 Wide fit prescription glasses, with a lower profile 

Choosing glasses for a larger head should mean having a choice of shapes as well as sizes. The Gent XL brings our understated Gent design to a wide 155mm prescription frame.

Compared with Classic XL, its shallower frame and wider bridge offer a different fit and appearance. It’s worth comparing if you prefer a lower-profile shape, while keeping more room than standard-width glasses.

Choose your frame colour, then customise your prescription lenses. Standard single vision lenses are included, with bifocal, lens-thickness and coating upgrades available at extra cost.

The Gent XL prescription glasses dimensions: 155mm frame width, 47mm frame height, 55mm lens width, 41mm lens height, 18mm bridge and 155mm arms.

 Try the fit before ordering 

Your prescription lenses are made specifically for you, so it makes sense to feel confident about the frame first.

UK prescription customers can request up to two black sample frames to try at home for 14 days. Check how they sit on your nose, around your temples and behind your ears, then return them by tracked post before ordering your prescription pair.

The samples are black, regardless of the colour you may later choose.

Use our Fitting Guide as a starting point, or contact us to arrange a try-on and get help choosing your frame.
