Solo 595

Solo 595 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Solo 595 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-18-140, in Blue, Grey or Mink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Blue. In Blue, the frame is blue tortoiseshell. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is grey tortoiseshell. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Mink. Mink is a good everyday shade. It is easy to wear and suits most outfits.

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

Why you will like it

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Solo 595 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Solo 595

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.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Solo 595 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.
