Solo 233

Solo 233 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Solo 233 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 52-17-135, in Gold, Silver or Rose Gold. 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 233 colour

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

Silver. Silver is a clean, bright silver. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Rose Gold. Rose Gold is a soft pink-gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

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

Design details

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 233 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 233

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 40mm 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.

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 233 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.
