Solo 582

Solo 582 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Solo 582 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 50-17-140, in Black or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo collection.

Black or Havana: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Havana. In Havana, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Solo 582 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Solo 582

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.

The 31mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Solo 582 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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.

Your questions, answered

Is the Solo 582 suitable for varifocals?

The 31mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Solo 582 for driving?

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

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Who glazes my lenses?
