CAR41

CAR41 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The CAR41 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 49-18-140, in Black, Gold or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carlton collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Dark Gun. The Dark Gun version is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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 CAR41 design

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CAR41 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 CAR41

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

• 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.

At 44mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

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 CAR41 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CAR41?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the CAR41 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.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
