Chloé prescription glasses: which frames should you choose?
Chloé’s prescription glasses play with proportions, curves and materials to offer frames that can be understated or more striking, depending on the model.
Chloé’s prescription glasses play with proportions, curves and materials to offer frames that can be understated or more striking, depending on the model. Rather than seeking a single recognisable silhouette, the brand expresses its aesthetic through a variety of designs: acetate frames, metal frames, rounded or geometric shapes, and more intricate details. Our selection allows you to compare these shapes and materials, and then to see how each one looks once the corrective lenses have been fitted. This is because a pair of prescription glasses is not merely an accessory: the width of the frame, the height of the lenses and how well they suit the prescription remain key criteria.

Which styles of Chloé prescription glasses should you choose?
The optical collection is not limited to a single shape. Depending on the models available, there are round, square and geometric frames, as well as those inspired by aviator styles. This diversity is one of the range’s key attractions: the Chloé signature is not defined by a single silhouette. The choice should take into account the proportions of the frame in relation to the face, as well as the prescription to be fitted and how the glasses will be worn on a day-to-day basis. A shape may be chosen for its aesthetic appeal; it is then the geometry of the model that determines what lenses can be fitted into it.
Acetate or metal prescription frames: which should you choose?
The material directly influences how the glasses look on the face. Acetate produces more striking frames, with particularly noticeable volume and colour variations. It is suitable for those who wish to make their glasses a prominent part of their style, and it better conceals the rim of a thick lens. Metal, on the other hand, allows for slimmer designs and a more discreet look. Metal frames are ideal for those seeking a visually lightweight frame without compromising on Chloé’s fashion identity — the choice depends mainly on the strength of the lenses to be fitted.
How to choose the right size of Chloé glasses?
The size indicated on the frame is a starting point, but it is not sufficient on its own. The actual fit also depends on the width of the face, the position of the eyes within the lenses and the geometry of the frame. The most reliable guide is still to compare them with a pair you already wear and which fit you well: this is the starting point we use to confirm a size remotely.
Can progressive lenses be fitted to a Chloé frame?
A Chloé frame can accommodate different types of corrective lenses where the design and specifications of the model allow. Compatibility with corrective lenses, particularly progressive lenses, must be assessed on a model-by-model basis. The lens height, frame dimensions and prescription details must be taken into account before the lenses are made. This case-by-case assessment is preferable to a general rule applicable to all frames: please send us your prescription and the model you have chosen, and we will confirm feasibility before you place your order.
What factors should you consider before ordering a pair of prescription glasses?
A pair of prescription glasses is both a visual aid and an accessory worn for several hours a day. Choosing the right pair therefore depends on more than just their appearance. Before selecting a model, it is worth considering: the shape and proportions of the model · the frame material, acetate or metal · its width and size · the correction to be applied · for everyday or occasional use · the type of lenses under consideration. At Olivia Balm, the available products can be viewed according to these different criteria, with your prescription to hand.
Frequently asked questions about Chloé prescription glasses
Q: How much do a pair of Chloé prescription frames cost?
A: From €179 to €279. The entry-level model is the CH0083O, a round acetate frame; at the top of the range are the two metal frames, CH0232O and CH0270O, priced at €279. Prescription lenses are added according to your prescription.
Q: Are Chloé prescription glasses only available in acetate?
A: No. The optical collection mainly comprises acetate frames, but also includes several metal styles: our selection features ten acetate frames and two metal frames. Acetate frames make a bolder statement on the face, whilst metal frames have a sleeker design.
Q: What styles of prescription glasses does Chloé offer?
A: Depending on the collection, Chloé offers, amongst other styles, round, square, geometric and aviator frames. In our selection, round frames dominate with six styles, followed by three square styles, two cat-eye styles and one hexagonal style, the CH0107O.
Q: Are these frames suitable for varifocal lenses?
A: Generally speaking, yes. Frame sizes range from 51 to 56 mm, and both round and square shapes offer a comfortable lens height. We check the usable lens height on the frame, with your prescription to hand, before confirming your order.
Q: Which size of Chloé frame should I choose for prescription glasses?
A: The frame sizes in the optical range are from 51 to 56 mm. The CH0238O and CH0131O, in 51 mm, are suitable for a slim face, whilst the CH0287O, in 56 mm, requires a broader face. The majority of the selection is around 53 mm.
Q: Would a Chloé prescription frame suit a full-faced person?
A: Provided you avoid the six round frames in this range, which would make your features appear even wider. Opt instead for the three square frames, whose shape defines your features, or the hexagonal CH0107O: its shape adds an angular touch without the harshness of a straight rectangle.
