The independent eyewear label will cut its best-selling frames to prescription from fall 2026, with pairs made to order in 10 to 12 days and prices expected to start near $150.
NY, New York, United States, 1st Sep 2026 – Elliot Vaughn has confirmed that customers who need vision correction will be able to order its frames glazed to prescription from fall 2026. Prices are expected to start near $150 and will vary by lens specification. The brand sells direct through elliotvaughn.com, with no wholesaler or retailer in between.
The label has sold sunglasses only until now, which meant anyone with a prescription treated the range as off limits or wore the frames over contacts. The brand says the request has come up consistently enough, and for long enough, that it stopped reading as a niche ask.
The problem with buying design-led eyewear when you need a prescription
Prescription wearers tend to shop from whatever an optician happens to stock. Independent labels rarely offer glazing, so the frames people actually like the look of are usually the ones they cannot have made up to their script. The practical result is a compromise: pick something that fits the prescription, or pick something you want to wear.
Elliot Vaughn is closing that gap on its own catalogue rather than across the wider market, but for its customers the effect is the same. The shapes they already own as sunglasses become shapes they can wear every day.
A range built on restraint
Elliot Vaughn has kept its catalogue deliberately narrow, and puts three words on its own homepage to explain why: restraint, discretion, intention. The frames borrow from shapes people already recognise, and the detail work sits close to the face rather than announcing itself from across a room.
Cat-eye and rounded silhouettes carry the range. The Juliette Cat-Eye, the Bellina Loop, the Riviera Cat-Eye and the Paris Retro are all cut narrow and sit close to the face, with the Paris Retro adding polarized lenses on a corrosion-resistant alloy bridge. The metal-temple styles follow. The Capri Link carries a gold-tone chain-link hinge at the temple joint, and the Rothwell Round Metal Shades are hand-finished acetate over an internal metal support. The Veyra Aviator, the Monaco Minimalist and the Echelon Luxe Rimless Shades cover the aviator, sculpted-metal and rimless builds. Most frames in the Elliot Vaughn collection carry UV400 lens protection, including the Juliette Cat-Eye, the Capri Link, the Rothwell and the Veyra Aviator.
What arrives with the glasses
Each pair ships in a turquoise hard case with gold lettering, packed with a microfiber cloth, an authenticity card and a serial-numbered guarantee card valid internationally. Orders leave within one to two working days and ship worldwide, with 30 days to return. Shipping is free over $119.99, and orders over $79.99 include a premium travel pouch.
The label holds a 4.6 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot. Reviewers keep returning to the same three things: how the frames are built, how they sit, and the case they turn up in. The full set is on the Trustpilot profile and on the brand’s own customer reviews page.
“We have had thousands of people ask us the same question since launch, and the honest answer for years was no. There is a real gap here. You can buy a frame worth wearing or a frame you can see through, and hardly ever the same frame. We did not want to keep making people pick.” — Spokesperson, Elliot Vaughn
How ordering will work
Prescription glazing opens on Elliot Vaughn’s best-selling frames in fall 2026. Each pair is cut to order over 10 to 12 days, then delivered about three days after dispatch. Prices start near $150 and rise with lens specification.
Customers will need a current prescription from a qualified eye care professional when they order. Lens options, which frames take which specifications, and confirmed turnaround times will be published on elliotvaughn.com before launch.
