Elite 4591

Elite 4591 Prescription Glasses

Fine metal frames have a quiet elegance, and the Elite 4591 is a lovely example. Its thin rims have a soft, rounded shape that lifts gently at the corners, and the contrasting arms add a little warmth. It is a women’s full-rim metal frame, sized 52-16-135, in bronze or purple.

Bronze or purple?

Bronze is a soft rose-bronze paired with warm brown arms. It flatters warm and olive skin and looks beautiful with gold jewellery.

Purple is a pale, silvery lilac with darker arms. It is fresh and pretty, and it suits fair skin and grey or silver hair.

Delicate but practical

The slim metal rims keep the frame light and make your eyes the focal point, while the full rim still protects the lens edges. The gently upswept shape suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces.

Who it suits

The Elite 4591 is ideal if you want something softer than a plastic frame and more feminine than a plain metal rectangle. It is an easy frame for work, weekends and special occasions, and the slim profile pairs nicely with earrings and a scarf without competing with them.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make it a medium frame, the 16mm bridge is on the narrow side, and the 135mm arms are a standard length. The 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room.

Lens options for the Elite 4591

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

• 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.

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.

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 Elite 4591 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
