CAR07

CAR07 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The CAR07 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-16-140, in Black/Crystal or Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Carlton range.

Black/Crystal or Grey?

Black/Crystal. The Black/Crystal version is black and crystal. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is translucent grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The CAR07 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 CAR07

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 36mm 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Your CAR07 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CAR07?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the CAR07 for driving?

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

What size is it?

It is size 54-16-140: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.
