Ascari Eyewear 036

Ascari Eyewear 036 Prescription Glasses

A browline frame always looks a little bit clever. The Ascari Eyewear 036 is a unisex full-rim browline frame, sized 51-17-130, in Blue, Purple or Teal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Which colour is you?

Blue. The Blue version is patterned blue with a silver rim. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Purple. In Purple, the frame is patterned purple with a gold rim. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Teal. In Teal, the frame is patterned teal with a gold rim. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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

Design details

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The Ascari Eyewear 036 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Ascari Eyewear 036 is an easy frame to wear every day.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Ascari Eyewear 036

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 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Ascari Eyewear 036 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
