Elegance 2045

Elegance 2045 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Elegance 2045 is a women’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Gold/Khaki, Gold/Beige or Gold/Puprle. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Elegance range.

Choosing your Elegance 2045 colour

Gold/Khaki. Gold/Khaki pairs gold with khaki. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Gold/Beige. Gold/Beige mixes gold and beige. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Gold/Puprle. Gold/Puprle pairs gold with puprle. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The Elegance 2045 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Elegance 2045

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

How your glasses are made

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 Elegance 2045 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Is the Elegance 2045 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
