Ascari Eyewear 059

Ascari Eyewear 059 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Ascari Eyewear 059 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-16-140, in Black, Brown or Gunmetal. 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?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. 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 059 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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 059

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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. 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 059 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
