Elite 4628

Elite 4628 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Elite 4628 is a men’s full-rim plastic rectangular frame, sized 50-17-135, in Blue or Grey. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Elite collection.

Choosing your Elite 4628 colour

Blue. The Blue version is striped blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is striped grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Elite 4628 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Elite 4628

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.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Elite 4628 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Elite 4628?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Elite 4628 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

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.
