Solo 010

Solo 010 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Solo 010 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Gold, Bronze or Gun Metal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Solo collection.

Choosing your Solo 010 colour

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Gun Metal. The Gun Metal version is gunmetal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The double bridge is a nod to classic aviator style and makes the front feel sturdy.

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

The Solo 010 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

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 010

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 44mm, 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.

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 Solo 010. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 010?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Solo 010 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.

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-140: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What is a double bridge?

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

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
