Retro 415

Retro 415 Prescription Glasses

Square frames add definition without trying too hard. The Retro 415 is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 54-17-145, in Black, Brown or Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Retro Collection.

Choosing your Retro 415 colour

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

Brown. In Brown, the frame is translucent brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

Design details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Retro 415 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 Retro 415

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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. 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.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Retro 415. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Retro 415?

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

Can I wear the Retro 415 for driving?

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

It is size 54-17-145: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?
