Fleming

Fleming Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The Fleming is a unisex full-rim round frame in Black, Crystal, Olive Dusk, Teal Blue or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert range.

5 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Crystal. The Crystal version is crystal clear. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Olive Dusk. In Olive Dusk, the frame is olive green translucent. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

Teal Blue. The Teal Blue version is translucent teal. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Tort. The Tort version is tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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.

Why you will like it

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look. Look for the little studs at the corners, a classic detail that lifts the whole frame.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Fleming is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Fleming is a solid choice. The Fleming also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 22mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 Fleming

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

• 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Fleming and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 22mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Is the Fleming 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.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
