Solo 063 (comfort bridge)

Solo 063 (comfort bridge) Prescription Glasses

Few shapes are as recognisable as the aviator. The Solo 063 (comfort bridge) is a unisex full-rim metal aviator frame, sized 56-17-145, in Gold, Bronze or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo collection.

Which colour is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Dark Gun. The Dark Gun version is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

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.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 063 (comfort bridge) is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 129mm.

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 063 (comfort bridge)

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

At 45mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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 Solo 063 (comfort bridge) 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.

A little care goes a long way

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 063 (comfort bridge)?

Yes. The 45mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Solo 063 (comfort bridge) for driving?

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

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What is a double bridge?

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

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
