Retro 392

Retro 392 Prescription Glasses

A rounded square gives you the softness of a round frame with a little more structure. The Retro 392 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 53-17-135, in Burgundy, Purple or Teal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Retro Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It pairs well with neutrals, denim and earthy colours.

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 rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces.

The Retro 392 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 Retro 392

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

• 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 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Retro 392. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.
