WXM974871-02 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The WXM974871-02 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 42-21-146, in Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Ooyes collection.

Colour and finish

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

About the WXM974871-02 design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

The thicker frame front gives it real presence on the face. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The WXM974871-02 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

How it fits

With 42mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 146mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 105mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the WXM974871-02

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your WXM974871-02 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.
