Solo 033

Solo 033 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Solo 033 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 58-18-145, in Gold, Bronze or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Solo range.

Choosing your Solo 033 colour

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

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. 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 Solo 033 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

With 58mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 134mm.

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 Solo 033

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 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Solo 033. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 033?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Solo 033 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 large frame?

Yes. With 58mm lenses it suits wider 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.
