Retro 415

Retro 415 Prescription Glasses

A good square frame is the white T-shirt of eyewear: simple, reliable and always in style. The Retro 415 is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 54-17-145, in Black, Brown or Grey. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Retro Collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Brown. The Brown version is translucent brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Why you will like it

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Retro 415 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Retro 415

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

The 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Retro 415 before sending them to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
