Elite 4590

Elite 4590 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Elite 4590 is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame, sized 50-15-130, in Blue or Brown. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Elite collection.

Blue or Brown?

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

Brown. In Brown, the frame is translucent blush brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Elite 4590 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 115mm.

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 Elite 4590

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Your Elite 4590 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.

Keep them looking new

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 Elite 4590?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Elite 4590 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 small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
