Ascari Eyewear 072

Ascari Eyewear 072 Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The Ascari Eyewear 072 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 52-18-140, in Black, Brown or Grey. 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

Black. The Black version is black and amber. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown. The Brown version is striped brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey. The Grey version is translucent grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

Shape and style

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Ascari Eyewear 072 is a strong choice. Thinking of a second pair? The Ascari Eyewear 072 works well as a backup.

Styling tips

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 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 072

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.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots 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.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Ascari Eyewear 072 and then sends your glasses 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 072?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Ascari Eyewear 072 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 52-18-140: 52mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
