Ascari Eyewear 050

Ascari Eyewear 050 Prescription Glasses

Browline glasses draw attention up to your brows and leave the rest of the face open and light. The Ascari Eyewear 050 is a unisex full-rim metal browline frame, sized 52-16-130, in Purple, Red 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.

Choosing your Ascari Eyewear 050 colour

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

Red. Red is a confident red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

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 Ascari Eyewear 050 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Ascari Eyewear 050

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Ascari Eyewear 050 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.

What size is it?

It is size 52-16-130: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 130mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What is a browline frame?
