CAR11

CAR11 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The CAR11 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-17-140, in Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Carlton range.

Colour and finish

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The CAR11 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the CAR11

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.

The 31mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your CAR11 and then sends your glasses 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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Questions we often get

Is the CAR11 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 31mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the CAR11 for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-140: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.
