The Easyclip EC500 eyeglasses combine Aspex Eyewear's patented magnetic clip-on technology with a classic rectangular frame design that works for everyday wear. These prescription-ready frames feature a full-rim acetate construction in multiple colorways—including Navy & Onyx, Grey & Dark Steel, Brown Marbled, and Black & Onyx—paired with metal temple accents for a refined, two-tone look.
Magnetic Clip-On Technology That Actually Works
What sets the EC500 apart is the magnetic attachment system built into the frame. Easyclip uses rare-earth neodymium magnets that deliver ten times the holding power of standard ferrous magnets, so the polarized sun clip stays secure during normal activity—no fumbling with clamps or worrying about clips falling off. The matching magnetic clip snaps on in a second when you step outside and removes just as easily when you're back indoors. It's a practical alternative to photochromic (transition) lenses, especially for driving: windshields block the UV rays that trigger photochromic darkening, but the Easyclip works instantly regardless of where you are.
Built to Last: TurboFlex Hinges
The EC500 is equipped with TurboFlex hinges—Aspex's patented 360° rotating hinge technology. The temples can flex and rotate in every direction without snapping or losing their fit, which means fewer adjustments and better durability if you're the type who tosses glasses in a bag or occasionally sits on them. The shock-proof stainless steel hinge construction handles daily wear better than standard spring hinges.
Fit & Specs
The EC500 measures 59-17-145 (lens width-bridge-temple length), making it a medium-to-large fit suited for most adult faces. The 17mm bridge sits comfortably on average nose bridges, and the 145mm temples provide a secure wrap. The rectangular lens shape is versatile—professional enough for the office, casual enough for weekends. Each frame ships with its matching magnetic clip-on, a protective case, and a cleaning cloth.
These frames accept single-vision, progressive, and high-index prescription lenses, and they're compatible with anti-reflective coatings and blue-light filtering. If you need sun protection but don't want to carry a second pair of prescription sunglasses or deal with the slow transition speed of photochromic lenses, the EC500 delivers a straightforward, budget-friendly solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Easyclip EC500 frames prescription-ready?
Yes, the EC500 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. You can also add lens treatments like anti-reflective coating, blue-light filtering, or high-index materials. The frames are designed to hold prescription lenses securely in the full-rim acetate construction.
How strong are the magnets on the Easyclip EC500?
The EC500 uses Aspex's patented rare-earth neodymium magnets, which provide ten times the magnetic attraction of standard ferrous magnets. This ensures the clip-on sunglasses stay securely attached during normal daily activities, including walking, driving, and light physical movement, without the risk of falling off unexpectedly.
What is the advantage of Easyclip over transition lenses?
Easyclip magnetic clip-ons work instantly in any environment, including inside cars—where transition lenses fail because windshields block the UV rays needed to activate darkening. Clip-ons are also more affordable than prescription photochromic lenses, give you full control over when you want sun protection, and can be replaced independently if lost or damaged without replacing your entire prescription.
What are TurboFlex hinges and why do they matter?
TurboFlex is Aspex's patented 360° rotating hinge technology that allows the temples to flex and rotate in every direction without breaking. The shock-proof stainless steel hinges maintain their fit longer than traditional hinges, require fewer adjustments, and are ideal for active lifestyles or anyone who's hard on their glasses.
What size are the Easyclip EC500 frames?
The EC500 measures 59mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (59-17-145). This is a medium-to-large frame size suitable for most adult faces. The 17mm bridge provides a comfortable fit for average nose bridges, and the 145mm temples ensure the frames sit securely without pinching.
Does the Easyclip EC500 come with the magnetic clip-on included?
Yes, every EC500 frame comes with a matching magnetic polarized clip-on in the same color, plus a protective case and cleaning cloth. The clip-on provides UV protection and polarization to reduce glare. Additional clip-ons in different tints (like blue-light blocking or night-driving yellow) can be purchased separately.

Easyclip EC500 vs EC510: Which Model Fits You?
Both the EC500 and EC510 share Aspex's core technologies—the patented neodymium magnetic clip-on system and TurboFlex 360° rotating hinges—so you're getting the same functional advantages regardless of which you choose. The decision comes down to frame style and fit.
The EC500 features a classic rectangular shape with a 59-17-145 fit (medium-to-large), making it versatile for professional and casual settings. It's available in four colorways: Navy & Onyx, Grey & Dark Steel, Brown Marbled, and Black & Onyx. The full-rim acetate construction with metal temple accents gives it a refined, two-tone aesthetic that works across age groups.
The EC510 offers an alternative frame geometry within the same price range. If the EC500's rectangular shape doesn't match your face shape or style preference, the EC510 provides the same magnetic convenience and hinge durability in a different silhouette.
Our recommendation: If you prefer a tried-and-true rectangular frame with multiple color options and a medium-to-large fit, the EC500 is the safer choice. If you're looking for a slightly different look but want to stay within the Easyclip ecosystem, explore the EC510. Either way, you're getting the same magnetic technology that works better than transition lenses for driving and costs far less than buying separate prescription sunglasses.
