Elite 4528

Elite 4528 Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Elite 4528 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame, sized 52-17-140, in Purple/Blue or Wine. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Elite range.

Purple/Blue or Wine?

Purple/Blue. The Purple/Blue version is purple that fades to blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Wine. In Wine, the frame is wine red that fades to pink. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

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 4528 is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Elite 4528 is a solid choice.

How to wear it

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 Elite 4528

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

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

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.

How your glasses are made

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Elite 4528 and sends the finished pair 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Elite 4528?

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

Can I use the Elite 4528 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 52-17-140: 52mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What does the colour fade look like?

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

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.
