Solo 059

Solo 059 Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The Solo 059 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 49-22-145, in Matt Black, Matt Gold or Matt Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Solo collection.

Choosing your Solo 059 colour

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Matt Gold. Matt Gold keeps things simple. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Matt Gun. In Matt Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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

The details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. 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 059 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

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 22mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 Solo 059

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

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

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Solo 059. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Solo 059?

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

Is the Solo 059 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 22mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
