Ascari Eyewear 048

Ascari Eyewear 048 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Ascari Eyewear 048 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 53-15-135, in Amber, Brown or Jade. 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?

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

Brown. The Brown version is brown and green tortoiseshell. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Jade. The Jade version is jade green tortoiseshell. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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

About the Ascari Eyewear 048 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

The Ascari Eyewear 048 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 048

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

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 38mm 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 048 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
