Solo 576

Solo 576 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Solo 576 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 53-16-140, in Black/Crystal, Black/Red or Demi. 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

Black/Crystal. The Black/Crystal version is black and crystal. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Black/Red. In Black/Red, the frame is red and black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Demi. In Demi, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Solo 576 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 576

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

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.

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

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

Is the Solo 576 suitable for varifocals?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Solo 576 for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-140: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

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.
