The Eastwood

The Eastwood Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Eastwood is a men’s semi-rimless metal rectangular frame, sized 54-19-145, in Black, Dark Blue or Dark Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Original Penguin range.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Dark Blue. Dark Blue is a deep ink blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Dark Gunmetal. Dark Gunmetal is a deep charcoal metal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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 frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes The Eastwood an easy pick for everyday wear. The Eastwood is an easy frame to wear every day.

Wearing it every day

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.

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 Eastwood

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

• 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.

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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Your The Eastwood is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.
