Rigid specs can become frustrating quickly, especially when the temples press against the side of your head during long working days, driving, reading, or screen-heavy tasks. Some frames feel too plain, while others try too hard and lose their everyday usefulness. The Sunoptic 917 Prescription Glasses solve that balance with a sharp square silhouette, a premium two-toned finish, and the kind of lightweight structure that feels easy to wear from morning to evening.
We selected this frame as a smart, high-finish addition to our men’s optical line because it brings classic masculine definition without feeling heavy or severe. Each order arrives complete with the premium frame, custom clear 1.5 index lenses, a protective hard case, and a microfibre cleaning cloth, dispatched directly from Meath with the personal care Buy New Specs is known for.
The Sunoptic 917 Prescription Glasses are built around a clean, square-shaped frame that gives the face instant structure. The design is particularly effective if you want eyewear that looks professional, polished, and easy to pair with your everyday wardrobe. The geometry creates a defined upper brow line, helping the frame sit with confidence without overpowering your features.
The premium two-toned construction is one of its strongest visual details. Rather than relying on a flat single-colour finish, this frame uses subtle tonal contrast to create depth across the front and upper section. That contrast adds definition where it matters most, giving the frame a sharper architectural look while still keeping it wearable for daily use.
Buy New Specs also chose this model for its practical hardware. The responsive spring hinges allow the temples to flex gently when you put the frame on or take it off. That flexibility helps reduce pressure at the sides of the head, making the frame more comfortable during long work sessions, commuting, business meetings, and relaxed weekend wear.
If you usually compare different styles before choosing, this model sits naturally within our range of metal frame prescription glasses, while still offering a refined alternative to heavier or bolder plastic frame prescription glasses. Its squared outline also makes it a strong choice within our wider men’s prescription glasses selection, especially for customers who want something smart, durable, and easy to wear every day.
The Sunoptic 917 Prescription Glasses are designed to sit securely without feeling restrictive. The soft, adjustable nose pads help the frame rest neatly on the bridge of the nose, while the spring-loaded temples provide gentle movement at the sides. This combination is important because a good frame should feel stable without squeezing.
The square-shaped profile works especially well for round, oval, or softer facial shapes that benefit from stronger geometric definition. The clean angles add contrast, helping the face appear more structured while keeping the overall look refined. If you prefer a neat, masculine frame that does not feel bulky, Sunoptic 917 offers a reliable middle ground between slim optical styling and confident visual presence.
We also understand that fit is personal. That is why our Meath-based team can help you check your prescription details, lens requirements, and frame suitability before you order. Buy New Specs is proudly rooted in Meath, and our commitment to supporting local jobs is part of how we continue to provide practical, personalised optical care to customers across Ireland.
The Sunoptic 917 Prescription Glasses suit the pace of everyday life in Ireland. The polished two-toned look can move easily from corporate meetings in Dublin to weekend plans in Meath, family occasions, college work, remote working, or day-to-day errands. It is sharp enough for formal settings, but simple enough to wear with casual clothing.
The clear 1.5 index lenses supplied as standard provide a reliable base configuration for everyday prescription wear. From there, you can tailor the glasses to suit your daily routine. Long-distance single-vision lenses are ideal for driving, meetings, and general day use. If close-up clarity is your priority, prescription reading glasses may be the right setup. For customers who need multiple viewing zones, we also offer prescription bifocal glasses and prescription varifocal glasses for more flexible everyday vision.
Lens protection can make a major difference, too. For screen-heavy work, prescription glasses with blue light filter can help support visual comfort during long sessions on laptops, phones, and monitors. For glare from office lighting, wet roads, night driving, or reflective indoor surfaces, anti-glare prescription glasses are a practical upgrade. If you often move between indoor and outdoor environments, prescription glasses that react to light can help your lenses adapt more comfortably throughout the day.
While this frame is strongly suited to men’s styling, Buy New Specs also supports customers browsing different shapes and categories, including women’s prescription glasses, sports prescription glasses, and specialist lens configurations. If you already own a favourite frame and want to keep it in use, our reglazing prescription glasses service can also help extend the life of frames you already trust.
Ordering the Sunoptic 917 Prescription Glasses online is straightforward. You simply enter your prescription details, choose your lens configuration, and complete your order through buynewspecs.ie. Our team then prepares your glasses for swift dispatch and nationwide delivery directly from Meath.
We keep the process practical because prescription eyewear should not feel complicated.

The best guide for you is to look at your current spectacles. The measurements in millimeters can usually be found on the inside of the frame, on the arm or on the nose bridge. They will look something like this: (example) - 46-20-135
If the measurements are worn away then a mm ruler can be used to measure your old glasses.
1st number - Lens width: Related to your eye size, and typically in the range of 46 (small) to 56 (large) (where the lens is)
2nd number - Bridge width: This is where you nose sits. Typically this is between 15 and 20.
3rd number - Side Length: 130 (short), 135 (medium) and 140 (long) (from lens to the end piece of your ear) We don't quote this number as a high percentage of frames are size 135
