Solo 061

Solo 061 Prescription Glasses

Geometric frames are for people who like their glasses to be a little bit interesting. The Solo 061 is a unisex full-rim metal geometric frame, sized 53-19-145, in Gold, Black or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Solo range.

Choosing your Solo 061 colour

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

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

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

Design details

The angular shape suits round and oval faces, where it adds definition and interest. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Solo 061 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than 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 Solo 061

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.

At 45mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Solo 061 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.
