Hogarth

Hogarth Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The Hogarth is a men’s full-rim round frame, sized 51-21-145, in Black & Tort, Crystal & Tort or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Walter & Herbert collection.

Choosing your Hogarth colour

Black & Tort. In Black & Tort, the frame is black and tortoiseshell. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Crystal & Tort. Crystal & Tort mixes crystal and tort. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Tort. In Tort, the frame is tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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.

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch.

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

How to wear it

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

How it fits

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 Hogarth

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

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

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Hogarth and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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

What size is it?

It is size 51-21-145: 51mm lens width, 21mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Can I use the Hogarth as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

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

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
