Ferucci 199

Ferucci 199 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Ferucci 199 is a men’s full-rim plastic rectangular frame, sized 52-16-140, in Grey or Havana. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ferucci range.

Grey or Havana?

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Havana. Havana is a warm tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side. Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Ferucci 199 an easy pick for everyday wear. The Ferucci 199 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

Size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 Ferucci 199

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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 Ferucci 199 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ferucci 199?

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

Is the Ferucci 199 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

It is size 52-16-140: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

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