Zenith 106

Zenith 106 Prescription Glasses

Not quite round, not quite square, and that is exactly why this shape works on so many faces. The Zenith 106 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 49-21-145, in Black, Crystal, Navy or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Zenith collection.

Choosing your Zenith 106 colour

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

Crystal. Crystal is a clear, see-through finish. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Tort. In Tort, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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.

Design details

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

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 Zenith 106 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

Size and fit

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Zenith 106

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

• 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 Zenith 106 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
