Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel

Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel is a unisex full-rim stainless steel rectangular frame, sized 54-16-145, in Brown, Green or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ascari Eyewear Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Green. Green is an earthy green. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

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. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

Stainless steel is strong, light and resistant to corrosion, so the frame keeps its finish over time.

The Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel is an easy frame to wear every day.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel

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

• 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 36mm 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Ascari Eyewear 065 Stainless Steel before sending them 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.
