Ascari Eyewear 073

Ascari Eyewear 073 Prescription Glasses

Browline glasses draw attention up to your brows and leave the rest of the face open and light. The Ascari Eyewear 073 is a unisex browline frame, sized 57-17-143, in Black, Brown or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Choosing your Ascari Eyewear 073 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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 stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The Ascari Eyewear 073 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Frame size and fit

At 57mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 143mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 131mm.

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 Ascari Eyewear 073

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 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.

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 Ascari Eyewear 073 before sending them to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 073?

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

Can I use the Ascari Eyewear 073 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 large frame?

Yes. With 57mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
