Ascari Eyewear 037

Ascari Eyewear 037 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Ascari Eyewear 037 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 52-16-135, in Blue, Lilac or Red. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Choosing your Ascari Eyewear 037 colour

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

Lilac. In Lilac, the frame is lilac with patterned arms. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Red. The Red version is red with patterned arms. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

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

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear. 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 037 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 037

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 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 037 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 037?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Ascari Eyewear 037 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 52-16-135: 52mm 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.
