Clear all

In round glasses the lens is a circle, and the whole character of the frame comes down to three measurements: the diameter, the rim thickness and the bridge. A fine titanium wire makes the shape light, almost graphic; a solid acetate rim turns it into a bold mark on the face. Round or circle glasses: it's the same shape, called two ways.

Here you'll find round optical frames and sunglasses together. To browse a single category, open round eyeglasses or round sunglasses. The history of the shape, from the first lenses of the 13th century to independent designers, is in the Journal: the history of round glasses. If you're looking for a more elongated design, see oval glasses.
