Solo 045 (comfort bridge)

Solo 045 (comfort bridge) Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Solo 045 (comfort bridge) is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-18-140, in Gold, Bronze or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo collection.

3 colours to choose from

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Dark Gun. The Dark Gun version is gunmetal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 045 (comfort bridge) is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 Solo 045 (comfort bridge)

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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Solo 045 (comfort bridge) and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.
