Turinelli

Turinelli Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Turinelli is a women’s full-rim plastic soft square frame in Tort/Blue, Tort/Red or Green-mottle/Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Infusion range.

Which colour is you?

Tort/Blue. In Tort/Blue, the frame is tortoiseshell and blue. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

Green-mottle/Purple. Green-mottle/Purple is a good everyday shade. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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.

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

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 Turinelli an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit.

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 Turinelli

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.

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.

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 Turinelli 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

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Can I use the Turinelli as computer glasses?

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