Ascari Eyewear 035

Ascari Eyewear 035 Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Ascari Eyewear 035 is a unisex full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-135, in Blue Mottle, Brown Mottle or Grey Mottle. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Which colour is you?

Blue Mottle. The Blue Mottle version is mottled blue. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Brown Mottle. In Brown Mottle, the frame is mottled brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey Mottle. In Grey Mottle, the frame is mottled grey. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

A mottled finish adds texture and warmth without being busy. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Ascari Eyewear 035 an easy pick for everyday wear. Thinking of a second pair? The Ascari Eyewear 035 works well as a backup.

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Ascari Eyewear 035

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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 Ascari Eyewear 035 and sends the finished pair 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 035?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Ascari Eyewear 035 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.

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-135: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
