Smith Dominion RX vs. Overland RX vs. Southside RX
All three Smith prescription eyeglass frames are priced at $154 and share Smith's premium lens technology—anti-reflective coating, scratch resistance, and hydroleophobic treatment. The key differences come down to frame shape, fit, and material.
Frame Shape & Style
The Dominion RX features a bold flat-top square shape with clean, angular lines that add definition to round or oval faces. It's the most retro-inspired of the three, with a throwback vibe that stands out. The Overland RX takes a modern approach with a double-bridge geometric square design that blends vintage and contemporary styling. The Southside RX offers a classic rounded wayfarer shape with softer lines that work well for customers who want a gentler, more versatile look.
Fit & Coverage
The Dominion provides a medium-large fit with large coverage (54-17-145mm), making it ideal for medium to larger faces. The Overland offers a medium fit with large coverage (56-17-145mm), slightly wider but with a different feel due to the double-bridge design. The Southside has a medium fit (54-18-140mm) with a classic rounded shape that accommodates a wider range of face shapes.
Frame Material & Features
The Dominion is built with premium acetate and spring hinges, plus adjustable wire-core temples for a custom fit. The Overland uses Smith's eco-friendly Evolve bio-based material with QuickFit adjustable temples and AutoLock hinges for easy one-hand on/off. The Southside is crafted from eco-friendly nylon with spring hinges, adjustable wire-core temples, and Megol temple tips for a secure, stay-put fit.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose the Dominion RX if you want a bold, flat-top square frame with retro styling and the largest coverage. It's the best option for adding definition to softer facial features. Go with the Overland RX if you prefer eco-friendly materials, modern double-bridge styling, and the convenience of QuickFit adjustable temples. Pick the Southside RX if you want a classic wayfarer look with rounded lines that soften angular features and work across more face shapes.
