Retro Sun 041

Retro Sun 041 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Retro Sun 041 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 52-16-140, in Black, Brown or Grey. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Retro Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Shape and style

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

Keep the Retro Sun 041 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Wearing it every day

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Retro Sun 041

The Retro Sun 041 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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 39mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty 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.
