Synergy 6042

Synergy 6042 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Synergy 6042 is a unisex full-rim plastic cat-eye frame, sized 52-20-145, in Black or Blue. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Synergy collection.

Black or Blue: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Blue. The Blue version is translucent blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

Look for the little studs at the corners, a classic detail that lifts the whole frame. The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Synergy 6042 an easy pick for everyday wear. Thinking of a second pair? The Synergy 6042 works well as a backup.

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 20mm 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 124mm.

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 Synergy 6042

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. 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. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Synergy 6042 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Synergy 6042?

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

Is the Synergy 6042 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.

What size is it?

It is size 52-20-145: 52mm lens width, 20mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

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.
