Turner

Turner Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Turner is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 53-18-145, in Black, Brown Semi-Stripe or Brown Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert collection.

Which colour is you?

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

Brown Semi-Stripe. Brown Semi-Stripe keeps things simple. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Brown Tort. Brown Tort is a warm brown tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

Design details

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

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Turner an easy pick for everyday wear. Thinking of a second pair? The Turner works well as a backup.

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.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. 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 124mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Turner

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.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Turner and then sends your glasses 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.
