Ascari Eyewear 037

Ascari Eyewear 037 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Ascari Eyewear 037 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 52-16-135, in Blue, Lilac or Red. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ascari Eyewear Collection.

Which colour is you?

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy with patterned arms. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Lilac. The Lilac version is lilac with patterned arms. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Red. The Red version is red with patterned arms. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Ascari Eyewear 037 is a strong choice. The Ascari Eyewear 037 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm 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.

Lens options for the Ascari Eyewear 037

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 40mm 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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 Ascari Eyewear 037 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.

Looking after them

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Ascari Eyewear 037?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Ascari Eyewear 037 for driving?

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

It is size 52-16-135: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.
