Lowry

Lowry Prescription Glasses

A browline frame always looks a little bit clever. The Lowry is a men’s full-rim browline frame, sized 54-19-140, in Black, Grey or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert collection.

3 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.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Tort. Tort is a classic tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

The details

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Lowry an easy pick for everyday wear.

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.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 Lowry

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.

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 Lowry and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.
