Ascari Eyewear 060

Ascari Eyewear 060 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Ascari Eyewear 060 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 55-17-145, in Black to Clear, Blue to Clear or Brown to Clear. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ascari Eyewear Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black to Clear. The Black to Clear version is black that fades to clear. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Blue to Clear. In Blue to Clear, the frame is blue that fades to clear. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Brown to Clear. Brown to Clear is a classic choice. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

The Ascari Eyewear 060 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. Thinking of a second pair? The Ascari Eyewear 060 works well as a backup.

How to wear it

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

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 060

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

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 Ascari Eyewear 060 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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 060?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Ascari Eyewear 060 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What does the colour fade look like?

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

Where are my lenses made?
