Cardimine

Cardimine Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Cardimine is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame in Purple Mix, Brown Mix or Blue Mix. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Infusion collection.

Choosing your Cardimine colour

Purple Mix. In Purple Mix, the frame is patterned pink and purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Brown Mix. In Brown Mix, the frame is patterned brown and purple. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Blue Mix. The Blue Mix version is patterned blue and purple. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Cardimine is easy to live with.

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.

Lens options for the Cardimine

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

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 Cardimine 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

Is the Cardimine 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.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
