The Elasta 7226 Eyeglasses deliver reliable everyday eyewear at an exceptional value. Manufactured by Safilo, one of the world's largest eyewear makers with roots dating back to 1934, these full-rim metal frames combine Italian craftsmanship with practical design for adults seeking quality prescription eyeglasses without the premium price tag.
Built from stainless steel, the 7226 resists corrosion and daily wear while remaining lightweight enough for all-day comfort. The oval shape provides a softer, more understated look compared to angular frames, making it an excellent choice for square or diamond-shaped faces. The full-rim construction ensures maximum lens stability and durability—the metal rim wraps completely around the lenses for secure retention and long-term reliability.
Available in three versatile finishes—Matte Black, Light Brown, and Havana Gray—and two sizes (48mm and 50mm eye width), the 7226 accommodates a range of face sizes and personal styles. The single-bridge design and adjustable nose pads allow opticians to fine-tune the fit to your facial contours. Temple lengths of 140mm and 145mm provide secure, comfortable positioning behind the ears.
These frames are fully prescription-ready and work exceptionally well with progressive or bifocal lenses. The oval shape's generous vertical height provides ample room for the multiple vision zones required in multifocal prescriptions, ensuring smooth transitions from distance to intermediate to near vision. The metal construction allows for precise adjustments to achieve optimal lens positioning.
At this price point, the Elasta 7226 represents outstanding value for anyone who needs a dependable, professional-looking frame that can be fitted with prescription lenses at their local optician or through our lens services.

just picked up the glasses with new lenses, so far, very pleased
Everything went great. Thanks
Safilo frames are well made. I have worn glasses many years and Safilo frames hold up well. My optometrist never has a great selection of frames so I ordered these and still let my optometrist do the lenses. These were a great value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Elasta 7226 frames prescription-ready?
Yes, the Elasta 7226 eyeglasses are fully prescription-ready and can accommodate most prescription lenses, including single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The oval shape and full-rim metal construction make them particularly well-suited for progressive lenses, as they provide the vertical lens height needed for smooth transitions between vision zones.
What material are the Elasta 7226 frames made from?
The Elasta 7226 frames are made from stainless steel, a durable metal alloy that resists corrosion, rust, and tarnishing. Stainless steel is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and can be easily adjusted by opticians for a customized fit. This material offers an excellent balance of durability and affordability compared to premium materials like titanium.
What face shapes work best with oval eyeglass frames?
Oval frames like the Elasta 7226 work particularly well for square, diamond, and angular face shapes. The soft, rounded edges of oval frames provide contrast and balance to sharper facial features. The understated shape also suits those who prefer a more conservative, professional look over bold, angular frames.
What sizes are available for the Elasta 7226?
The Elasta 7226 is available in two sizes: 48-20-140 (48mm lens width, 20mm bridge, 140mm temple length) and 50-20-145 (50mm lens width, 20mm bridge, 145mm temple length). The 48mm size works well for smaller to medium faces, while the 50mm size accommodates medium to larger faces.
Are Elasta frames durable and long-lasting?
Yes, Elasta frames are manufactured by Safilo, a respected Italian eyewear company with nearly 90 years of experience. Customer reviews consistently praise Safilo Elasta frames for their durability and ability to hold up well over years of daily wear. The stainless steel construction resists everyday wear and tear better than cheaper metals.
Can I use these frames with progressive lenses?
Absolutely. The Elasta 7226's oval shape is ideal for progressive lenses because it provides generous vertical lens height—essential for accommodating the distance, intermediate, and near vision zones in progressive prescriptions. The full-rim design also ensures the lenses remain securely in place, and the metal frame can be precisely adjusted for optimal progressive lens performance.

Elasta 7226 vs. Similar Elasta Frames
If you're considering the Elasta 7226, you might also want to compare it with other frames in Elasta's affordable 7000-series collection. All three models—the 7226, 7057, and 7058—are manufactured by Safilo with the same commitment to durability and value, but each offers a slightly different aesthetic.
Elasta 7226 vs. Elasta 7058
Both the 7226 and 7058 fall into the same $39-$91 price range and feature metal construction. The key difference lies in frame shape and style. The 7226's oval shape is particularly well-suited for progressive lenses due to its generous vertical lens height, and it works beautifully to soften angular facial features. If you have a square or diamond-shaped face and need multifocal lenses, the 7226's oval design may be the better choice. The 7058 offers an alternative style at the same price point, so your decision comes down to which shape complements your face and prescription needs.
Elasta 7226 vs. Elasta 7057
The Elasta 7057 is priced slightly higher at $43-$91.48 but remains in the same value-oriented collection. Like the 7226, it's designed for mature adults seeking reliable, conservative eyewear. The 7226's oval shape gives it an edge for progressive lens wearers, as oval frames provide the vertical space needed for smooth vision zone transitions. If you prioritize progressive lens compatibility and a softer, more understated look, the 7226 is the stronger option.
Why Choose the Elasta 7226?
The Elasta 7226 stands out for its classic oval shape, which is both flattering for angular face shapes and highly functional for progressive or bifocal prescriptions. The stainless steel construction delivers long-term durability and corrosion resistance, while the full-rim design ensures your lenses stay secure. At $39-$123 depending on lens options, it's an exceptional value for anyone seeking dependable, prescription-ready eyewear backed by Safilo's decades of Italian craftsmanship.
