Byron

Byron Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Byron is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 56-17-140, in Blue. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert range.

The colour

Blue. The Blue version is striped blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

About the Byron design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

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

Styling tips

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

Frame size and fit

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 129mm.

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 Byron

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

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.

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 Byron 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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

FAQs

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Is the Byron 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.

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.
