Cantagold

Cantagold Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Cantagold is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame in Navy/Red, Turquoise/Blue or Purple Multi. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Infusion range.

3 colours to choose from

Navy/Red. In Navy/Red, the frame is navy and red. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Turquoise/Blue. Turquoise/Blue mixes turquoise and blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Purple Multi. Purple Multi keeps things simple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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 patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Cantagold is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Cantagold is a solid choice.

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

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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 Cantagold

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

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.

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 Cantagold and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Your questions, answered

Is the Cantagold 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.

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.
