About this frame

Round eyeglasses: the Cartier CT0496O in Black and Gold, sized 52–21–145. Add the eye twice and the bridge once and it is about 125mm across the front, a middle width. The CT0496O is gold-finish metal with an acetate brow. Its line is Première de Cartier, and the godron at the hinge is the detail to look for. For progressives, the 43mm lens depth is enough for most designs; the optician checks it against your fitting height. It ships with demonstration lenses for the optician to replace with yours.

Frame only: prescription lenses are not included.
