Mitchell

Mitchell Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Mitchell is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-18-145, in Artic Midnight, Midnight Ember or Walnut. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert collection.

Walnut. Walnut is easy to wear. It is a versatile choice that works for most people.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

About the Mitchell design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

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

How to wear it

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 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Mitchell

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

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.

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 Mitchell before sending them to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.
