Ascari Eyewear 029

Ascari Eyewear 029 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Ascari Eyewear 029 is a unisex full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 50-17-135, in Black, Burgundy or Lilac. 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 029 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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 softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Ascari Eyewear 029 an easy pick for everyday wear.

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.

How it fits

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. 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 Ascari Eyewear 029

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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. 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.

From our lab to you

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 029 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

Is the Ascari Eyewear 029 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I use the Ascari Eyewear 029 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance work well for desk work.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

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.
