The Absolute Comfort collection, launched by Kering Eyewear in 2022, was therefore designed with a focus on sizing and ensuring the frames fit the face perfectly.

What is the Montblanc Absolute Comfort collection?

In 2022, Kering Eyewear unveiled the latest development in the Montblanc Absolute Comfort collection, a permanent range of optical frames developed around a specific concept: frames designed according to the measurements of each component of the frame and available in several sizes. In particular, it included rimless frames in round, rectangular, geometric and square shapes, designed to facilitate assembly and fitting. The company’s optical eyewear range is therefore not merely about aesthetics: the issue of fit is an integral part of product development.

Which type of prescription frame should you choose?

Montblanc prescription glasses are available in several different styles. Geometric models give the eyes a more graphic look, square and rectangular shapes offer a more structured silhouette, and round frames provide a different take on the design. However, the choice of shape is based on the actual dimensions of the model and how it fits the face. The same family of shapes can produce very different results depending on the width, height and construction of the frame: the shape provides guidance, it does not dictate.

What measurements should you check before ordering online?

When it comes to a pair of prescription glasses, appearance is not the only criterion. There are eight factors worth checking before choosing a frame: the width of the frame · the height of the lenses · the length of the arms · the position of the bridge · the shape of the frame · the material · the correction to be applied · the type of lenses chosen. The dimensions given on the product page are particularly useful when ordering online: they can be compared directly with those of a pair of glasses you already wear.

Can progressive lenses be fitted to a Montblanc frame?

The option to fit progressive lenses is not automatically available across the entire collection. Compatibility depends on the frame’s geometry, the available height, the position of the lens and the prescription itself. For a gradual adaptation, the choice is therefore determined by the specific model and the parameters of the prescription. This approach is preferable to a general rule that would set a minimum height or a shape that is systematically required for all frames.

Fine metal or acetate for all-day wear?

Prescription frames are items of equipment worn for several hours a day. When choosing them, therefore, fit, size and prescription are just as important as style. Metal allows for slender frames and a low visual profile, emphasising the frame’s geometry; details inspired by writing instruments are then incorporated into the arms or the bridge. Acetate allows for thicker fronts and fuller shapes, with a range of colours and transparency effects: the frame plays a greater role in facial expression. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for all wearers. The right choice depends on the wearer’s facial structure, the prescription and the actual use of the pair.

Frequently asked questions about Montblanc prescription glasses

  • Q: How much does a pair of Montblanc prescription frames cost?

    A: From €159 to €259, frames only. The MB0386O and MB0349O models are at the lower end of the range, whilst the MB0342OA and MB0346O models are at the top end at €259. Corrective lenses are added according to your prescription and the treatments selected.

  • Q: What is the Montblanc Absolute Comfort collection?

    A: Absolute Comfort is a permanent range of prescription eyewear launched by Kering Eyewear in 2022. It brought together several frame shapes — round, rectangular, geometric and square, including rimless models — available in a range of sizes, with designs intended to facilitate the assembly and adjustment of the frames.

  • Q: What styles of Montblanc prescription glasses are available?

    A: The collections include round, rectangular, square and geometric shapes. Of our 14 Montblanc prescription frames, 10 are rectangular, 2 are round, 1 is hexagonal and 1 is aviator-style. However, shape alone is not enough to make a decision: two models from the same range can look very different depending on their width and height.

  • Q: Can progressive lenses be fitted to a Montblanc frame?

    A: Compatibility depends on the model and the prescription. It is determined by the frame’s geometry, the available height and the position of the lens, in conjunction with the prescription parameters. It should therefore be checked on the chosen frame before the lenses are made, rather than by applying a general rule to the entire collection.

  • Q: How to choose the right size for Montblanc prescription glasses?

    A: Compare the frame dimensions with those of a pair you already wear, taking into account the width of your face, the position of your eyes and the length of the arms. Our range of prescription frames is mainly between 50 and 54 mm: the MB0336O goes down to 48 mm for a narrow face, whilst only the MB0300O reaches 56 mm.

  • Q: What materials are used for Montblanc prescription frames?

    A: Metal and acetate depending on the model; the brand’s eyewear range also includes other frame styles. Of our 14 Montblanc prescription frames, 9 are made of acetate and 5 of metal. Metal reduces the visual presence of the frame, whilst acetate allows for thicker fronts and a wider range of colours.
