Prada PR A08V Rectangle Eyeglasses
On orders over Dhs 500
Most of our frames are “one size,” designed to fit a wide range of faces. A few styles come in multiple sizes. Use your current glasses as the best reference, or follow the quick steps below.
1) How to read frame size (on your glasses)
Look inside the temple (arm). You’ll see numbers like: 52□18–140
-
52 = Lens width (mm)
-
18 = Bridge width (mm)
-
140 = Temple length (mm)
Match these to the new frame for the most reliable fit.
2) Quick fit by face width (no glasses handy?)
Use a ruler (millimeters) across your face at the pupils, or try the “credit-card test” (a card is ~54 mm wide).
| Face width | Typical lens width | Typical bridge | Temple length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow | 48–51 mm | 15–18 mm | 135–140 mm |
| Medium | 52–54 mm | 16–19 mm | 140–145 mm |
| Wide | 55–57 mm | 17–21 mm | 145–150 mm |
Tip: Sunglasses often run 1–2 mm larger than optical frames for a comfortable, slightly looser fit.
3) One-size frames—how to choose
-
Compare the listed size to your current frame stamp (e.g., if you wear 52□18–140, look for something close: 51–53 lens, 17–19 bridge, 140–145 temple).
-
If between sizes, pick slightly larger for sunglasses and closer match for optical.
-
Small adjustments (nose pads, temple bend) by an optician can fine-tune the fit.
4) What each number changes
-
Lens width: overall frame width/coverage.
-
Bridge: comfort on the nose; higher bridge = more space.
-
Temple length: behind-ear comfort; longer temples for larger heads or if temples feel tight/short.
5) Common size examples
-
Optical (unisex): 50–54 / 17–19 / 140–145
-
Sunglasses (unisex): 52–56 / 16–20 / 140–150
-
Smaller faces: start at lens width 48–50
-
Larger faces: look at 55–57
6) Still unsure?
-
Match your current frame numbers first.
-
Check our product photos on model notes (if available).
-
You can message us your current size (e.g., 52□18–140) and preferred fit (snug/standard/relaxed)—we’ll suggest options.
Prada
Milan, and the inverted triangle
Founded in Milan in 1913 by Mario Prada. The inverted triangle logo is the recurring eyewear signature, reworked three-dimensionally into the Symbole temples; Minimal Baroque remains the house's best-known sunglass.

The Prada PR A08V is a full-rim rectangle eyeglass frame for men, with an acetate front and acetate temples. It comes with demo lenses, so you can add single-vision, progressive, reading or non-prescription lenses when you order. It has a high bridge fit and often suits round, oval and heart face shapes. Available in 2 colourways: Matte Black / Demo Lens and Havana.
Havana or matte black, 52mm, acetate throughout. The PR A08V is a men's optical rectangle with no complications — conventional scale, high bridge fit, two variants. Matte acetate behaves differently from polished: it shows fingerprints less, holds colour more evenly in dull light, and reads quieter across a room. Choose the havana if you want the frame seen, the matte black if you do not.

Who makes Prada eyewear?
EssilorLuxottica, under licence since July 2003, when Luxottica took over from a Prada/De Rigo joint venture. The same licence covers Prada Linea Rossa and Miu Miu, and now runs to the end of 2030 with an option to 2035.
What is Minimal Baroque?
Prada's best-known sunglass model, reference PR 27NS, launched in 2011. It is an oversized round acetate frame with a scrolled, garland-like ornament running along the temple.
What is the Symbole collection?
A frame family built around the house's inverted triangle logo, reworked three-dimensionally into the temple rather than applied as a flat plaque.
What is the difference between Prada and Prada Linea Rossa?
Linea Rossa is Prada's technical and sport line, identified by a red stripe, built around wrap-influenced shapes in rubberised nylon, metal and titanium. Main-line Prada is fashion-led, mostly acetate and metal.
Can Prada sunglasses be glazed to prescription?
Most can, and Prada produces a large optical range separately. Strongly wrapped Linea Rossa shapes have prescription limits — our opticians will confirm the frame before ordering.
Are these frames authentic?
Yes. Our Prada stock is sourced through authorised supply and arrives with its branded case, cloth and manufacturer documentation, with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
