The Cruz Rockaway Blvd Eyeglasses deliver professional style in a lightweight semi-rimless frame designed for men who need all-day comfort. The rectangle shape features a metal top rim with an open bottom, reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity. This half-rim design reveals more of your face and creates a clean, business-appropriate look that works from the office to evening.
Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the frame balances strength with a barely-there feel. The 52mm and 54mm lens widths accommodate different face sizes, while adjustable silicone nose pads let you dial in the perfect fit—no slipping, no pressure points. Spring hinges flex outward to accommodate wider head shapes and absorb the stress of repeated on-and-off wear, making these frames more resistant to breakage than standard barrel hinges.
The Rockaway Blvd is prescription-ready and works with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The semi-rimless construction provides enough lens support for most prescriptions while keeping the frame light enough for extended wear. Available in three finishes—Black, Gunmetal, and Navy—with two size options (52-17-135 and 54-17-140) to match your measurements. Each frame includes a protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Cruz Rockaway Blvd frames compatible with progressive lenses?
Yes, the Cruz Rockaway Blvd eyeglasses are fully compatible with progressive (no-line bifocal) lenses. The semi-rimless design provides adequate lens support for multifocal prescriptions, and the adjustable nose pads allow you to fine-tune lens positioning for optimal vision at all distances. Most prescriptions work well with this frame style.
What are the benefits of spring hinges on these eyeglasses?
Spring hinges on the Cruz Rockaway Blvd allow the temples to flex outward beyond 90 degrees, providing a more comfortable fit that adapts to your head shape. This flexibility reduces pressure on the sides of your head, prevents the "temple pinch" feeling during extended wear, and makes the frame more resistant to breaking when you put them on or take them off.
How do I know which size to choose—52mm or 54mm?
The 52mm lens width (size 52-17-135) fits small to medium faces, while the 54mm (size 54-17-140) suits medium to larger faces. To determine your size, check the numbers printed inside your current glasses' temple arm—the first number is the lens width. If you're between sizes, the adjustable nose pads and spring hinges on the Rockaway Blvd provide some flexibility in fit.
What makes semi-rimless frames better than full-rim frames?
Semi-rimless frames like the Cruz Rockaway Blvd are significantly lighter than full-rim frames because they use less material. They reveal more of your face for a less obstructive look, reduce pressure on your nose and ears during long wear, and offer a professional, minimalist aesthetic. The trade-off is they require slightly more care when handling to avoid lens scratches on the exposed bottom edge.
Can the nose pads be adjusted for a better fit?
Yes, the Cruz Rockaway Blvd features adjustable silicone nose pads that can be customized to fit different nose shapes and widths. An optician can bend the pad arms to raise or lower the frame, adjust the distance between pads for narrow or wide bridges, and change the angle for optimal comfort. This adjustability is especially helpful for progressive lens wearers who need precise lens positioning.
What warranty and accessories come with these frames?
The Cruz Rockaway Blvd eyeglasses are manufactured by A & A Optical and include a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Each frame comes complete with a matching protective case and microfiber cleaning cloth. The warranty does not cover damage from normal wear, accidents, or improper handling.

Cruz Rockaway Blvd vs Cruz Aviles St: Which Cruz Frame Is Right for You?
Both the Cruz Rockaway Blvd and Cruz Aviles St eyeglasses come from the same Cruz collection and share the same $77.49 price point, making them direct competitors for budget-conscious shoppers who want quality metal frames. The decision comes down to style preference and which frame shape complements your face better.
The Rockaway Blvd features a semi-rimless rectangle design with a metal top rim and open bottom, creating a lightweight, professional look that's ideal for business settings. Its spring hinges and adjustable nose pads provide all-day comfort, and the rectangle shape works particularly well for balancing rounded face features. The frame is confirmed to be compatible with progressive lenses and comes with a protective case and cleaning cloth.
The Cruz Aviles St is another men's metal frame option from Cruz at the identical price, offering an alternative style within the same quality tier. Both frames are manufactured by A & A Optical and carry the same one-year warranty. If you're deciding between these two models, consider trying both to see which frame shape and style better suits your face shape and personal aesthetic—the semi-rimless Rockaway Blvd for a lighter, more open look, or explore the Aviles St if you prefer a different design approach.
