Elite 4544

Elite 4544 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Elite 4544 is a unisex full-rim plastic rectangular frame, sized 53-16-145, in Blue or Grey. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Elite collection.

Choosing your Elite 4544 colour

Blue. The Blue version is striped blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Grey. The Grey version is striped grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Elite 4544 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Elite 4544

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Elite 4544 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Elite 4544?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Elite 4544 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-145: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

Who glazes my lenses?
