FLEXIT 6044

FLEXIT 6044 Prescription Glasses

The aviator has been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. The FLEXIT 6044 is a unisex full-rim metal aviator frame, sized 56-16-145, in Gold or Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Flexit collection.

Gold or Black: which one is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

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

Why you will like it

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The double bridge is a nod to classic aviator style and makes the front feel sturdy.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the FLEXIT 6044 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the FLEXIT 6044

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots 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.

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.

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 FLEXIT 6044 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 FLEXIT 6044?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the FLEXIT 6044 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.

Who glazes my lenses?
