Synergy 6055

Synergy 6055 Prescription Glasses

Not quite round, not quite square, and that is exactly why this shape works on so many faces. The Synergy 6055 is a unisex full-rim plastic rounded square frame, sized 53-19-145, in Black/Brown or Blue/Brown. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Synergy collection.

Choosing your Synergy 6055 colour

Black/Brown. Black/Brown mixes black and brown. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue/Brown. Blue/Brown mixes blue and brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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.

Why you will like it

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

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

The Synergy 6055 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 Synergy 6055

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.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Synergy 6055 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Synergy 6055?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Synergy 6055 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.

What size is it?

It is size 53-19-145: 53mm lens width, 19mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.
