Ferucci 489

Ferucci 489 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Ferucci 489 is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame, sized 50-17-130, in Beige or Lillac. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ferucci collection.

Choosing your Ferucci 489 colour

Beige. In Beige, the frame is translucent beige-peach. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Lillac. Lillac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side. Plastic keeps the weight down and allows richer, deeper colour than metal.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Ferucci 489 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Frame size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

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 Ferucci 489

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 39mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your Ferucci 489 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

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Ferucci 489?

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

Can I use the Ferucci 489 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 50mm 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.
