Puriti 16

Puriti 16 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Puriti 16 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 52-19-145, in Gold or Titan. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Puriti collection.

Gold or Titan: which one is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Titan. The Titan version is silver. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Puriti 16 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.

Size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 Puriti 16

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

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 Puriti 16 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

What size is it?
