DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Marchon NYC M 5006 eyeglasses bring New York City style to your everyday prescription eyewear. These women's rectangle frames feature full-rim acetate construction in four versatile colors—classic tortoise, sleek black, soft sand, and modern blue storm—each designed to complement different skin tones and personal styles.

Acetate is a premium frame material prized for its durability and rich color depth. Unlike cheaper injection-molded plastics, the acetate used in these frames offers a refined finish that holds its shape and luster with proper care. The 54mm lens width makes these frames a medium fit, suitable for most adult face shapes, while the 17mm bridge and 140mm temples provide balanced proportions that work particularly well for round and oval faces, adding definition without overwhelming your features.

These frames are prescription-ready, meaning you can add your exact prescription lenses—single vision, progressive, or readers—along with lens upgrades like anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, or photochromic options. The full-rim design provides excellent lens support, making them a smart choice for stronger prescriptions where the frame edge helps conceal lens thickness.

Designed for Real Life

Marchon NYC was founded in 1983 with a focus on creating eyewear that balances style, quality, and value. The M 5006 reflects that philosophy: a straightforward rectangle shape with clean lines and a polished look that transitions easily from work meetings to weekend errands. The single-bridge design and subtle temple detailing (visible in the photos as a small metallic accent near the hinge) add a touch of refinement without calling too much attention.

The tortoise variant shows a warm brown pattern with darker mottling, while the black offers a solid, professional appearance. Sand presents a neutral ivory-beige tone, and blue storm delivers a contemporary blue-gray finish. All four share the same comfortable fit and reliable construction that Marchon frames are known for.

Care and Longevity

Acetate frames can last for years when cared for properly. Clean them with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then dry with a microfiber cloth—never paper towels, which can create micro-scratches. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or exposing them to harsh chemicals like acetone or alcohol-based products. Store them in a protective case when not in use to prevent warping and maintain that polished finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Marchon NYC M 5006 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, these frames are fully prescription-ready. You can add single vision, progressive, or reading lenses with your exact prescription. The full-rim acetate construction provides excellent support for prescription lenses, including stronger prescriptions where the frame edge helps conceal lens thickness. You can also add lens upgrades like anti-reflective coatings, blue light filtering, or photochromic (transition) lenses.

What size are the Marchon NYC M 5006 frames?

The M 5006 frames measure 54-17-140mm, which breaks down to a 54mm lens width (medium size), 17mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length. This is considered a medium fit suitable for most adult women. The 54mm lens width falls in the standard medium range (51-54mm), making these frames versatile for various face sizes.

What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglasses?

Rectangle frames like the M 5006 are particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes. The horizontal width and defined angles of rectangular glasses add structure and make rounder faces appear longer and more defined. Oval faces, being a universal shape, work well with the balanced proportions of rectangle frames. These frames also suit heart-shaped faces by adding width at eye level.

How do I care for acetate eyeglass frames?

Clean acetate frames with lukewarm water and a small drop of mild soap, then dry with a microfiber cloth—never paper towels, which can scratch the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone, rubbing alcohol, and ammonia-based products, as these can damage the acetate material. Store frames in a protective case when not in use, and keep them away from extreme heat (like hot cars or direct sunlight) which can cause warping.

Are full-rim acetate frames good for strong prescriptions?

Yes, full-rim acetate frames like the M 5006 are an excellent choice for strong prescriptions. The frame's edge helps conceal the natural thickness of prescription lenses, making the glasses appear slimmer and lighter. Acetate is also durable enough to support heavier lenses without flexing, and the material provides more stability than metal frames for higher prescriptions.

What colors are available for the Marchon NYC M 5006?

The M 5006 is available in four colors: 215 Tortoise (a warm brown pattern with darker mottling), 001 Black (solid black), 250 Sand (a neutral ivory-beige tone), and 434 Blue Storm (a contemporary blue-gray finish). Each color option features the same frame shape and measurements, allowing you to choose based on your personal style and what complements your skin tone.

Marchon NYC M 5006 vs Similar Frames

If you're considering the M 5006, you might also be looking at other frames in the Marchon NYC collection. Here's how the M 5006 compares to similar options in our catalog.

M 5006 vs M 5505

Both the M 5505 and M 5006 are part of Marchon NYC's M-series collection, featuring rectangle shapes and full-rim acetate construction. The key difference is sizing: the M 5006 has a 54mm lens width while the M 5505 measures 52mm, making the M 5006 slightly larger and better suited for medium faces, while the M 5505 works well for those who prefer a more compact fit. The M 5505 offers a different color palette (blue, grey, brown, red) compared to the M 5006's tortoise, black, sand, and blue storm options. Both frames are priced similarly at around $76, making the choice primarily about size preference and color selection.

M 5006 vs M CARLTON 2

The M CARLTON 2 is another Marchon NYC option in the same price range ($72-$77). While specific styling details may differ, both frames share the Marchon NYC commitment to quality acetate construction and accessible pricing. The M 5006's advantage is its proven rectangle shape that flatters round and oval faces, along with four versatile color options that cover both classic and contemporary preferences.

Why Choose the M 5006?

The M 5006 stands out for its medium 54mm lens width, which fits the widest range of adult face sizes. The four color options—from timeless tortoise and black to softer sand and modern blue storm—give you flexibility to match your wardrobe and personal style. The rectangle shape is universally flattering and projects a professional, put-together appearance that works in any setting. At under $77, you're getting quality acetate construction and the reliability of a brand that's been manufacturing eyewear since 1983.
