About this frame

In Malachite Mix, the l.a.Eyeworks Palapa is a pair of cat-eye eyeglasses marked 51–19–137, for a 51mm lens, a 19mm bridge and 137mm temples. Add the eye twice and the bridge once and it is about 121mm across the front, in the middle of the range. Acetate softens with gentle heat, so an optician can adjust the Palapa's temples and bridge to fit. The lens height of the Palapa is not listed yet, so ask us for it if you need progressive lenses.

Frame only: prescription lenses are not included.

How the numbers work

Eye is the width of one lens, bridge is the gap between them, and temple is the length of the arm — all in millimetres. Your own frames carry the same three numbers, usually printed inside the left arm.
