Snooker Pro 53 — Precision Semi-Rimless Eyewear for Serious Players
Designed for players who demand uninterrupted vision and absolute clarity at the table, the Snooker Pro 53 delivers purpose-built optical geometry that keeps every shot in view — even during deep stance play.
These frames feature an oversized 43 mm vertical (B) height, giving the wearer a dramatically expanded upper visual field. When you lower your head and lock in your stance, your line of sight remains entirely within the lens instead of catching the frame edge. No more awkward head-tilting or losing sight of the pocket during your down-stroke.
A defining design element is the lower-than-usual temple attachment point. By positioning the temples lower on the lens area, the entire upper field stays open and unobstructed — a geometry engineered specifically for cue sports. This is what separates true snooker eyewear from ordinary oversized glasses.
The frame front is constructed from lightweight, durable metal with a satin-black finish. The fully adjustable silicone nose pads allow precise control of both height and width:
-
Pads pushed inward → tighter fit, glasses sit slightly higher
-
Pads widened → accommodates wider noses, allows a looser fit, glasses sit slightly lower
This fine-tuning capability is critical for proper stance alignment. Many competing snooker-style frames lack adjustable pads entirely, making correct fitting impossible.
The semi-rimless construction further reduces weight and provides excellent stability during long playing sessions.
Prescription Lenses Included (Single Vision Only)
To ensure consistent optical performance, the Snooker Pro 53 is currently offered with single-vision lenses only. Lenses are fabricated from polycarbonate, a material that is:
-
thinner
-
lighter
-
impact-resistant
-
more durable than standard plastic (CR-39)
All lenses are custom-made in-house to match the customer’s exact prescription.
Optional: Custom Lens Edge Engraving
For players who want something personal, each pair can be ordered with custom lens engraving, such as:
-
your name
-
your team name
-
a nickname
-
league initials
Engravings are completed on our precision engraving system and can be placed on the upper lens edge (default) or lower lens edge upon request. Engravings are subtle, crisp, and do not interfere with optical clarity.

FAQ — Snooker Pro 53
1. Why do snooker glasses need such a tall lens?
Cue sports require a deep, head-down stance. The tall 43 mm B-height keeps your upward line of sight completely inside the lens while aiming down the table.
2. What makes these different from regular oversized glasses?
Two purpose-built features:
-
Lower temple attachment for full upper-field visibility
-
Adjustable nose pads to set exact height and width for stance alignment
This is functional optical engineering — not just big lenses.
3. Can I adjust the fit myself?
Yes.
-
Pads pushed inward → firmer fit, glasses sit higher
-
Pads widened → looser/wider fit, glasses sit lower
This allows players to tune the frame to their stance instantly.
4. Are these available in progressives or bifocals?
Not at this time.
To ensure predictable alignment for cue sports, we currently offer single-vision lenses only.
5. Can I add custom engraving?
Yes.
You can personalize your glasses with an engraved:
-
name
-
team name
-
nickname
-
league initials
Engraving can be placed on the upper or lower lens edge and is subtle enough not to interfere with your aim.
6. Are these good for snooker, pool, and billiards?
Absolutely.
The geometry benefits all cue disciplines, including:
-
snooker
-
8-ball
-
9-ball
-
straight pool
-
carom
7. What prescriptions can these support?
Most single-vision prescriptions between +4.00 and –5.00 (with typical astigmatism) work very well.
If you’re unsure, we can quickly review your Rx.
8. What’s included in the case?
-
Snooker Pro 53 frame

9. What if the fit needs adjusting after I receive them?
We can guide you through nose-pad adjustments via photo or video.
If optical refinement is needed, we’ll assist with lens adjustments or remakes so your stance feels natural.
Optional Lens Enhancements
Super Anti-Reflective Coating (Recommended)
Our Super Anti-Reflective (Super AR) coating dramatically improves performance at the table.
It reduces surface reflections, ghost images, and haloing from overhead lights—allowing the lenses to appear almost “invisible” while you line up your shot.
Benefits:
-
Sharper definition of balls and pocket edges
-
Better clarity in bright or mixed lighting
-
Reduced glare from tournament-style LED fixtures
-
Easier focus during long playing sessions
-
Lenses look cleaner and clearer from all angles
This upgrade provides the highest optical clarity we offer and is strongly recommended for serious players.
Optional Tint Choices (20% Tint Level)
These light-performance tints help tune the lenses for different lighting environments, table colors, and visual preferences. All are subtle enough for indoor use while still providing functional improvement in visibility and comfort.
Gray 20% — Bright Light Control (No Color Shift)
What it does:
Gray reduces overall brightness without altering true color perception. It keeps reds, blues, greens, and whites perfectly balanced.
Best for:
-
Extra-bright tables with strong overhead LEDs
-
Players who want zero color distortion
-
Tournament environments where lighting is intense or uneven
Practical feel:
Neutral, natural, calming to the eyes.
Brown 20% — Balanced Contrast Boost
What it does:
Brown softens blue-spectrum glare while enhancing contrast between the table felt and the balls. It improves depth perception without the warm overtones of yellow or amber.
Best for:
-
Recreation centers and well-lit pool halls
-
Players who want improved clarity without strong color changes
-
Long sessions where visual fatigue builds up
Practical feel:
Warm, crisp, and comfortable with a subtle contrast lift.
Rose 20% — High Visual Comfort & Soft Contrast Enhancement
What it does:
Rose gently increases contrast while reducing harshness from bright lights. It improves ball separation slightly and enhances visual comfort for players sensitive to glare.
Best for:
-
Mixed lighting setups (fluorescent + LED)
-
Older players or anyone sensitive to visual strain
-
Situations where you want improved comfort and mild contrast improvement
Practical feel:
Very comfortable, soothing, and excellent for longer matches.
Blue 20% — Reduced Glare & Softer Visual Tone
What it does:
Blue provides a cooler visual tone that many players find relaxing under bright white lights. It can reduce perceived glare but does not increase contrast.
Best for:
-
Bright LED environments where the white light feels harsh
-
Casual players who prefer a cooler, calming tint
-
Aesthetic preference without significant color change
Practical feel:
Cool, soft, and relaxed—excellent for glare sensitivity.
