Ferucci 1811

Ferucci 1811 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Ferucci 1811 is a women’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 48-16-130, in Gunmetal or Lillac. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Ferucci collection.

Gunmetal or Lillac: which one is you?

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Lillac. Lillac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Ferucci 1811 is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Ferucci 1811 is a solid choice.

Wearing it every day

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Size and fit

At 48mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 112mm.

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 Ferucci 1811

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.

The 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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.

From our lab to you

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 Ferucci 1811 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Your questions, answered

Is the Ferucci 1811 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Ferucci 1811 for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 48mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
