Golding

Golding Prescription Sunglasses

The aviator has been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. The Golding is a pair of unisex full-rim metal aviator sunglasses, sized 56-16-145, in Sepia Marblewood or Storm Grey. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Walter & Herbert range.

Sepia Marblewood or Storm Grey?

Sepia Marblewood. Sepia Marblewood keeps things simple. It is a classic option that goes with almost anything.

Storm Grey. Storm Grey is a deep blue-grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

The details

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Golding is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

How it fits

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Golding

The Golding can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

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 Golding before sending them 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.
