The Todd

The Todd Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Todd is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-15-145, in Black, Blue or Grey. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Original Penguin range.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is translucent grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The two-tone construction, darker outside and brighter inside, gives the frame a fun hidden detail.

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, The Todd is a strong choice. The Todd is an easy frame to wear every day.

How to wear it

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.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 Todd

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.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 The Todd 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.
