Cameo Elaine

Cameo Elaine Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Cameo Elaine is a women’s full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 50-17-130, in Blue, Mauve or Rose. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Cameo range.

Choosing your Cameo Elaine colour

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Mauve. Mauve is a dusky pinkish purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Rose. Rose is easy to wear. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool 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

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Cameo Elaine is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

Frame size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

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 Cameo Elaine

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.

If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

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.

How your glasses are made

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Cameo Elaine and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Cameo Elaine 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.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
