Ferucci 488

Ferucci 488 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Ferucci 488 is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame, sized 50-16-135, in Pink or Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ferucci collection.

Pink or Purple: which one is you?

Pink. The Pink version is translucent pink. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

Purple. In Purple, the frame is translucent lilac. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special. The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

The Ferucci 488 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Ferucci 488 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

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 50mm 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 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 488

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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.

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 488 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

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ferucci 488?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Ferucci 488 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm 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.
