CARIN Glasses & Sunglasses

Frames by CARIN. Lenses by us.

CARIN's own glasses ship with demo lenses: plain plastic that holds the frame's shape in transit and isn't made for daily wear. The usual next step is a trip to a local optician, who may or may not want to work on a frame they didn't sell.

We skip that step. Choose single vision, progressive, bifocal or readers when you order. We cut the lenses to your frame in our US lab, fit them, check them, and ship the finished pair. Prescription orders take 10 to 14 days. Rather keep your own optician? Order the frame only.

The CARIN lines, and who each one suits

Model wearing CARIN ROY R glasses

Feather Fit

The light one. Slim bio-plastic and acetate fronts with thin temples, built for people who forget they're wearing glasses and want to keep it that way. ROY O, ROY R and ROY S are listed at 11 g. JEAN+ comes in at 7 g.

Model wearing CARIN LIKA S glasses

Balance

All titanium, in shapes that barely register on the face. LIKA, TEO and NORMAN are listed at 7 g, which makes this the line to start with if you've had red marks on your nose from heavier frames.

Model wearing CARIN ARNO R glasses

Layered

More presence. Acetate rims, often paired with metal details, in shapes like AINO, ARNO and DENSE. These are the frames that do some of the talking.

What "Asian fit" means here

CARIN designs its everyday frames for Asian facial features, and that's the reason many people outside Korea search for the brand. Standard frames often slide down the nose or rest on the cheeks when you smile. Each CARIN product page lists lens width, lens height, bridge and temple length, so you can compare them against a pair you already own before you order.

Common questions

Can I get prescription lenses in CARIN frames?

Yes. Every CARIN frame on this page can be ordered with prescription lenses from our US lab. Single vision starts at $29 and progressive at $99, on top of the frame.

Does CARIN sell prescription glasses directly?

No. CARIN's FAQ states it does not offer prescription lenses. Its glasses come with demo lenses, with an optional blue-light upgrade.

Are CARIN glasses good for a low nose bridge?

CARIN says its everyday frames are designed for a comfortable fit on Asian facial features. Fit still varies by person and frame, so compare the bridge and lens measurements on each product page with glasses that fit you now.

Where is CARIN from?

CARIN was founded in Seoul, South Korea, in 2014. Manufacturing location varies by frame.

Can I use my FSA or HSA?

Yes. Prescription eyewear is FSA/HSA eligible.
