Ayrton

Ayrton Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Ayrton is a women’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-16-140, in Autumn Black, English Mulberry or Pinot Blush. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert range.

Choosing your Ayrton colour

Autumn Black. Autumn Black keeps things simple. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

English Mulberry. English Mulberry keeps things simple. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

Pinot Blush. Pinot Blush keeps things simple. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

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

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Ayrton an easy pick for everyday wear. The Ayrton also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 Ayrton

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.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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.

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 Ayrton 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.
