Zenith 111

Zenith 111 Prescription Glasses

Flat edges and angles turn a simple frame into a talking point. The Zenith 111 is a women’s full-rim metal geometric frame, sized 53-17-140, in Black, Mint Green or Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Zenith collection.

Choosing your Zenith 111 colour

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

Mint Green. Mint Green keeps things simple. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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

Design details

The angular shape suits round and oval faces, where it adds definition and interest. 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 Zenith 111 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. 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 Zenith 111

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

• 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.

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.

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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Zenith 111 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.
