Fleming

Fleming Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The Fleming is a unisex full-rim round frame in Black, Crystal, Olive Dusk, Teal Blue or Tort. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert range.

Which colour is you?

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

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Olive Dusk. Olive Dusk is easy to wear. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

Teal Blue. In Teal Blue, the frame is translucent teal. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Tort. The Tort version is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

The details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look. Small metal studs at the corners add a neat, vintage finishing touch.

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

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

How it fits

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 22mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. 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 Fleming

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

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.
