Elite 4589

Elite 4589 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Elite 4589 is a unisex full-rim plastic rectangular frame, sized 58-17-150, in Black or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Elite collection.

Black or Navy?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

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

About the Elite 4589 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Elite 4589 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.

Size and fit

At 58mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 133mm.

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 4589

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.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

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

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 Elite 4589 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Elite 4589?
