FLEXIT 6044

FLEXIT 6044 Prescription Glasses

The aviator has been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. The FLEXIT 6044 is a unisex full-rim metal aviator frame, sized 56-16-145, in Gold or Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Flexit collection.

Gold or Black?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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.

Design details

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the FLEXIT 6044 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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 FLEXIT 6044

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many optometrists include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your FLEXIT 6044 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the FLEXIT 6044?

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

Is the FLEXIT 6044 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.
