Ol012

Ol012 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Ol012 is a unisex full-rim plastic rectangular frame in Dark Blue or Shiny Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Own Label range.

Choosing your Ol012 colour

Dark Blue. Dark Blue is a deep ink blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Shiny Black. Shiny Black is easy to wear. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Ol012 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium.

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 Ol012

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

• 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.

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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Ol012. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

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.

Everyday wear

Good everyday glasses should be comfortable from breakfast to bedtime. Light materials, a secure fit and a classic look all help, and this frame ticks those boxes. Add the right lenses and it will handle screens, reading and driving with ease.
