Elite 4539

Elite 4539 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Elite 4539 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 56-17-145, in Black or Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Elite collection.

Black or Navy?

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

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Elite 4539 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Frame size and fit

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. 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 Elite 4539

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 37mm 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.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Elite 4539 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.
