Cameo Charlie

Cameo Charlie Prescription Glasses

Some frames just suit almost everyone. Rounded squares are high on that list. The Cameo Charlie is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 49-21-140, in Claret, Conifer or Crystal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Cameo range.

Choosing your Cameo Charlie colour

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

Conifer. Conifer keeps things simple. It is easy to wear and suits most outfits.

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

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

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Cameo Charlie is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

How it fits

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Cameo Charlie

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.

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.

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

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 Cameo Charlie before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Cameo Charlie 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.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 21mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Where are my lenses made?
