Ascari Eyewear 036

Ascari Eyewear 036 Prescription Glasses

Mixing a bold top line with a fine lower rim is a classic look that still feels fresh. The Ascari Eyewear 036 is a unisex full-rim browline frame, sized 51-17-130, in Blue, Purple or Teal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Ascari Eyewear Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Blue. In Blue, the frame is patterned blue with a silver rim. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Purple. In Purple, the frame is patterned purple with a gold rim. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Teal. In Teal, the frame is patterned teal with a gold rim. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Ascari Eyewear 036 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Ascari Eyewear 036

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.

The 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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.

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 Ascari Eyewear 036. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.

FAQs

Is the Ascari Eyewear 036 suitable for varifocals?

It is size 51-17-130: 51mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 130mm arms, a medium fit.

What is a browline frame?
