The Visionary Sunglasses – Prive Revaux
The Visionary sunglasses bring dramatic, oversized cat-eye style to your everyday wardrobe. We designed these frames with a bold acetate construction that balances vintage glamour with modern edge.
Our signature anti-reflective lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays while reducing glare from water, pavement, and bright surfaces. The lightweight build ensures all-day comfort whether you're running errands or enjoying a beachside brunch. Each pair features precision-molded temple arms that distribute weight evenly without pinching or sliding.
We crafted The Visionary for women who want statement eyewear that transitions seamlessly from morning coffee runs to evening rooftop gatherings. The exaggerated cat-eye silhouette complements oval, heart, and square face shapes with equal sophistication.
Frame & lens specifications
Frame Construction & Materials
We manufacture The Visionary frames from premium cellulose acetate, a plant-based material prized for its durability and color depth. Unlike injection-molded plastic, our acetate undergoes a multi-step tumbling and polishing process that creates rich, layered tones you won’t find in cheaper frames.
The oversized cat-eye shape measures 145mm temple-to-temple with 54mm lens height, providing generous coverage without overwhelming smaller faces. Five-barrel hinges with spring mechanisms allow the temples to flex outward 10 degrees beyond their resting position, accommodating wider head shapes while maintaining a secure grip. Each hinge is reinforced with stainless steel pins that resist loosening over time.
Lens Technology & UV Protection
Anti-Reflective Coating
The Visionary lenses feature a multi-layer anti-reflective treatment that cuts glare by up to 92% compared to uncoated lenses. This coating is especially effective when you’re driving toward sunrise or sunset, walking near water, or navigating snow-covered terrain.
We apply the coating to both the front and back lens surfaces using a vacuum-deposition process that bonds the material at the molecular level. The result is a coating that won’t peel or flake with regular wear.
Fit & Sizing Guide
The Visionary works best for small to medium face widths, typically corresponding to hat sizes 21.5 to 22.5 inches. If you have a larger face, we recommend trying our wider unisex styles for optimal comfort.
Our 145mm frame width sits flush with most temple lines without extending past the outer edge of your face. The 54mm lens height provides coverage from eyebrow to upper cheekbone, blocking peripheral light while leaving room for your natural facial expressions. Temple arms measure 140mm from hinge to curved ear tip, designed to rest gently behind the ear without creating pressure points.

Common Questions About The Visionary Sunglasses
The Visionary sunglasses feature anti-reflective coated lenses rather than polarized lenses. The multi-layer coating reduces glare by up to 92%, making them highly effective for driving and bright outdoor conditions.
If you specifically need polarized lenses for activities like fishing or water sports, we recommend exploring our dedicated <a href="/womens-sunglasses/">women's sunglasses</a> collection where several models offer polarization as a standard feature.
The oversized cat-eye design of The Visionary complements oval, heart-shaped, and square faces particularly well. The upswept outer corners visually lift and elongate the face, while the broader frame width balances angular jawlines.
If you have a round face, the sharp cat-eye angles will add definition. For oblong or diamond-shaped faces, the wide horizontal frame creates flattering proportion by adding width at the temple line.
While we design The Visionary as non-prescription sunglasses, the frames are compatible with prescription lens replacement at most optical shops. You'll need to provide the frames to your optician, who can remove our standard lenses and install prescription lenses with your specific correction.
Keep in mind that adding prescription lenses is a third-party service not covered by our warranty, and costs vary by optician and prescription complexity.
The Visionary frames measure 145mm temple-to-temple and work best for small to medium face widths. To gauge fit at home, measure your current sunglasses from one hinge screw to the other; if they measure between 138mm and 148mm, The Visionary should fit comfortably.
Our spring-loaded hinges provide up to 10 degrees of flex, accommodating minor size variations. If you typically wear large or extra-large sunglasses, we recommend choosing a different style from our collection with a wider frame measurement.
We offer a 30-day return window from your delivery date. If The Visionary frames don't fit or meet your expectations, return them in original condition using the prepaid label included in your package.
Once we receive your return, we'll issue a full refund to your original payment method within 5-7 business days. Frames must be unworn with all original packaging and accessories to qualify for a full refund.
We currently offer The Visionary in three acetate finishes: classic tortoise shell with amber tones, solid black with dark gray lenses, and crystal clear with gradient brown lenses. Each colorway features the same oversized cat-eye shape and lens technology.
All three finishes provide 100% UVA/UVB protection and anti-reflective coating. Color availability may vary by season as we rotate finishes based on style trends and customer demand.
Clean your Visionary lenses with lukewarm water and the included microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, add one small drop of gentle dish soap to wet lenses, rinse thoroughly, and dry with the microfiber cloth using circular motions.
Avoid glass cleaners, ammonia-based products, paper towels, and rough fabrics that can scratch the coating. Never use hot water, as temperatures above 140°F can damage both the lens coating and acetate frame material.
