CAP08

CAP08 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The CAP08 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Shiny Rose Gold, Pink or Lilac. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Capello range.

Which colour is you?

Shiny Rose Gold. Shiny Rose Gold is easy to wear. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the CAP08 an easy pick for everyday wear. The CAP08 is an easy frame to wear every day.

How to wear it

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

Size and fit

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the CAP08

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

• 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.

With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your CAP08. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Questions we often get

Can I wear the CAP08 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

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.
