Ferucci 492

Ferucci 492 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Ferucci 492 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-140, in Blue or Havana. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Ferucci range.

Blue or Havana: which one is you?

Blue. In Blue, the frame is mottled blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Havana. The Havana version is havana tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A mottled finish adds texture and warmth without being busy.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

The Ferucci 492 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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.

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 Ferucci 492

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.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Ferucci 492 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ferucci 492?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Ferucci 492 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-140: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

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.
