CAR20

CAR20 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The CAR20 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 52-20-140, in Brown. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Carlton range.

About the CAR20 colour

Brown. In Brown, the frame is brown fade. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CAR20 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. 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 CAR20

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 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your CAR20. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CAR20?

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

Can I wear the CAR20 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 52-20-140: 52mm lens width, 20mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.
