Ascari Eyewear 066

Ascari Eyewear 066 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Ascari Eyewear 066 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 54-15-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

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

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel.

The Ascari Eyewear 066 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. Thinking of a second pair? The Ascari Eyewear 066 works well as a backup.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 066

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

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 066 before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 066?

Yes. The 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Ascari Eyewear 066 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 54-15-140: 54mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
