Lewis

Lewis Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Lewis is a men’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 53-21-145, in Blue, Light Tort or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert range.

3 colours to choose from

Blue. In Blue, the frame is blue and black. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Light Tort. The Light Tort version is light tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Tort. In Tort, the frame is amber tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

About the Lewis design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Lewis is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. 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 127mm.

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 Lewis

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

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

Your questions, answered

What size is it?

It is size 53-21-145: 53mm lens width, 21mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Is the Lewis 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.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

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

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Where are my lenses made?
