Ferucci 490

Ferucci 490 Prescription Glasses

Translucent frames have a lightness that solid colours cannot match, and the Ferucci 490 makes the most of it. This women’s full-rim frame comes in a soft, see-through blue or a warm rosy brown, with slim metal arms and a little sparkle at the hinge. It is sized 49-17-130.

Blue or brown?

Blue is a pale, misty blue-grey that looks cool and fresh. It is lovely with grey or silver hair, blue eyes and fair skin.

Brown is a translucent rose-brown, softer and warmer than a classic brown. It blends beautifully with warm and olive skin tones.

Light, pretty and easy to wear

Because the front is translucent, light passes through it and the frame looks lighter on the face. The rounded, slightly squared lenses suit oval, square and heart-shaped faces, and the decorative detail at each hinge adds a touch of jewellery.

Great for smaller faces

With 49mm lenses and 130mm arms, the Ferucci 490 is a compact frame. If standard frames feel too wide or slide down your nose, this one is worth a try.

Size and fit

The 17mm bridge is average, and the 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room, which is unusual in a frame this size.

Lens options for the Ferucci 490

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

• 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.

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. It is also in our blue light glasses and reading glasses ranges.

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

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 490 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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 490 a small frame?

Yes. It has 49mm lenses and 130mm arms, so it suits smaller faces.

Can I use the Ferucci 490 as computer glasses?

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

Can I get progressive lenses?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives them plenty of room.

Are the colours see-through?

Yes. Both colours are translucent, which makes the frame look light and soft.

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.
