CAR29

CAR29 Prescription Glasses

Square frames have a confident, modern look that works almost anywhere. The CAR29 is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 49-18-140, in Black, Crystal or Demi. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Carlton collection.

Choosing your CAR29 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Crystal. The Crystal version is crystal clear. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Demi. In Demi, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

About the CAR29 design

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the CAR29 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 CAR29

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

• 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 37mm 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.

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.

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 CAR29. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CAR29?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the CAR29 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
