Solo 054

Solo 054 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Solo 054 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 59-20-150, in Gold, Black, 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 range.

4 colours to choose from

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame 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.

Design details

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.

The Solo 054 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

At 59mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 138mm.

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 Solo 054

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

• 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.

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.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Solo 054. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 054?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Solo 054 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 a large frame?

Yes. With 59mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

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.
