CAR24

CAR24 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The CAR24 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 51-17-140, in Black, Black/Green, Black/Pink, Burgundy or Havana. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Carlton collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Black/Green. In Black/Green, the frame is black and green. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Black/Pink. In Black/Pink, the frame is black and pink. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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.

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe.

The CAR24 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 CAR24

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 CAR24 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the CAR24?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the CAR24 for driving?

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

What size is it?

It is size 51-17-140: 51mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Who glazes my lenses?
