Zenith 109

Zenith 109 Prescription Glasses

A rounded square gives you the softness of a round frame with a little more structure. The Zenith 109 is a men’s full-rim rounded square frame, sized 51-19-140, in Black, Green or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Zenith collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Green. In Green, the frame is translucent green. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

Navy. The Navy version is translucent blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

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

About the Zenith 109 design

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Zenith 109 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

How it fits

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 Zenith 109

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 109 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.

Questions we often get

What size is it?

It is size 51-19-140: 51mm lens width, 19mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Can I use the Zenith 109 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
