Elite 4623

Elite 4623 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Elite 4623 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 58-18-145, in Bronze or Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Elite collection.

Choosing your Elite 4623 colour

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Elite 4623 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Frame size and fit

At 58mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 134mm.

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 Elite 4623

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.

The 39mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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.

From our lab to you

Your Elite 4623 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 Elite 4623?

Yes. The 39mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Elite 4623 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 58mm lenses it suits wider 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.
