not sure about the fit? we'll send your frames with non-rx lenses and a return label. ship back to us and we'll make / install your rx lenses. if you decide not to proceed, we refund your order minus a $30 restocking fee.

for progressives, this is also how you'll get your seg height — the vertical position that places your intermediate and reading zones correctly on the lens. without try-on, we use a frame-specific average that fits most wearers. with try-on, you can get more accurate by having a local optical shop measure it for you, or measuring it yourself using the instructions we send.

timeless rounded frame with a slightly squashed top, a sculpted bridge, and a 4-base tajima polarized lens. double-stacked spring hinge on a single axis — the visible mechanics that define the basn5 line. torpedo surface detail accents the temple design across the hinge gap, a signature element carried across every basn5 style.
