Zenith 96

Zenith 96 Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The Zenith 96 is a women’s full-rim round frame, sized 50-21-135, in Blue, Brown or Lilac. 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

Blue. The Blue version is blue tortoiseshell. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Brown. The Brown version is brown tortoiseshell. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Lilac. The Lilac version is lilac tortoiseshell. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Zenith 96 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 21mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 96

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 Zenith 96 before sending them 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.
