Ol007

Ol007 Prescription Glasses

The aviator has been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. The Ol007 is a unisex full-rim metal aviator frame in Gunmetal or Brown. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Own Label range.

Gunmetal or Brown: which one is you?

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. 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.

About the Ol007 design

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Ol007 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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.

How it fits

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight.

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 Ol007

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

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your Ol007 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Looking after them

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I use the Ol007 as computer glasses?

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

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.
