Ferucci Solaire 597

Ferucci Solaire 597 Prescription Sunglasses

An aviator brings a touch of adventure to everyday glasses. The Ferucci Solaire 597 is a pair of unisex full-rim metal aviator sunglasses, sized 58-15-140, in Gunmetal/Black. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Ferucci collection.

Colour and finish

Gunmetal/Black. The Gunmetal/Black version is gunmetal and black. It is shown with grey lenses. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Why you will like it

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Ferucci Solaire 597 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

Size and fit

At 58mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 131mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Ferucci Solaire 597

The Ferucci Solaire 597 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

At 50mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots 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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

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 Ferucci Solaire 597 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get the Ferucci Solaire 597 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, progressive, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Can I get progressive lenses in the Ferucci Solaire 597?

Yes. The 50mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 58mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
