Cameo Bob

Cameo Bob Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Cameo Bob is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-18-143, in Brown, Gun or Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Cameo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Gun. Gun is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

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

How to wear it

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 143mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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 Cameo Bob

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

• 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.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Cameo Bob. 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 it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I wear the Cameo Bob for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
