The Elasta 3022 Eyeglasses deliver professional style and lasting durability in a classic double-bridge rectangle frame. Made from stainless steel, these full-rim prescription eyeglasses combine the clean lines of traditional aviator-inspired design with the practical benefits of modern metal frame construction.
Built for Daily Wear
Stainless steel frames resist corrosion and tarnishing while staying lightweight enough for all-day comfort. The material holds its shape well and can be adjusted by your optician for a custom fit. The full-rim construction provides maximum lens stability and durability, making these frames a reliable choice for everyday use. Available in six metal finishes—Gold, Matte Gray, Semi Matte Dark Ruthenium, Shadow Brown, and Shadow Gray—and three sizes (54mm, 56mm, and 58mm eye width), the 3022 accommodates a range of face sizes and personal preferences.
Prescription-Ready Rectangle Design
The rectangle shape works particularly well for men with round or oval faces, adding structure and definition. The double-bridge design adds visual interest and extra support across the nose. These frames are fully compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses, making them a practical option for presbyopic wearers who need multifocal correction. The generous lens height provides enough vertical space for progressive lens corridors.
Part of the Safilo Elasta collection, these frames reflect the brand's focus on conservative, minimalist styling for mature professionals. The 3022 is a straightforward, no-nonsense frame that prioritizes fit, function, and longevity over trend-driven details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Elasta 3022 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Elasta 3022 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The full-rim metal construction provides stable lens mounting, and the rectangle shape offers sufficient vertical lens height for progressive multifocal prescriptions. Your optician can fit these frames with your specific prescription.
What face shapes work best with rectangle eyeglasses?
Rectangle eyeglasses like the Elasta 3022 work best for round and oval face shapes. The angular lines of rectangle frames add definition and structure to softer facial features, creating visual balance. The frames can also complement heart-shaped and diamond face shapes by balancing wider foreheads with the straight horizontal lines of the frame.
What are the benefits of stainless steel eyeglass frames?
Stainless steel frames offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and affordability. They're lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, resist rust and tarnishing, and maintain their shape well over time. Stainless steel is also adjustable, allowing your optician to customize the fit to your face, and it's generally hypoallergenic and nickel-free.
What sizes are available for the Elasta 3022?
The Elasta 3022 is available in three eye sizes: 54mm, 56mm, and 58mm. All sizes have a 16mm bridge width. Temple lengths vary by size: 135mm for the 54mm, 140mm for the 56mm, and 145mm for the 58mm. This range accommodates different face widths and ensures a comfortable, secure fit.
Does Elasta use special hinge technology?
Yes, many Elasta frames feature the proprietary Safilo Elasta spring hinge system, known for exceptional durability and flexibility. The innovative spring mechanism is designed to withstand up to 15 years of use and provides a comfortable, secure fit that accommodates face movement without loosening over time.
Can I use these frames for progressive lenses?
Yes, the Elasta 3022 frames are compatible with progressive lenses. The rectangle shape provides adequate vertical lens height for the distance, intermediate, and near vision zones required in progressive (no-line bifocal) lenses. The adjustable metal construction allows proper alignment of the progressive corridor for optimal vision at all distances.

Elasta 3022 vs. Similar Elasta Frames
If you're considering the Elasta 3022, you might also want to compare it to other frames in the Elasta collection that offer similar quality but different style options.
Elasta 3022 vs. Elasta 7196
Both the 3022 and the Elasta 7196 are rectangle metal frames in the same price range ($89.75–$104.60 vs. $91.49–$96.86). The 3022 features a distinctive double-bridge design that adds visual interest and structural support, while the 7196 may offer a more streamlined single-bridge look. If you prefer the classic aviator-inspired double-bridge aesthetic, the 3022 is the better choice. Both frames offer the same Elasta quality construction and are prescription-ready for all lens types.
Elasta 3022 vs. Elasta 3055
The Elasta 3055 ($92.67–$96.86) is a navigator/aviator style from the same 3000 series. While the 3022 has a rectangle lens shape that works best for round and oval faces, the 3055's navigator shape offers a more traditional teardrop aviator silhouette. The 3055 is available in larger sizes (55mm, 57mm, 59mm) compared to the 3022 (54mm, 56mm, 58mm), making it a better option for those who need a bigger frame. Both feature metal construction and Elasta's renowned spring hinge technology.
Elasta 3022 vs. Elasta 7033
For budget-conscious shoppers, the Elasta 7033 ($43.00–$91.48) offers significant savings while maintaining Elasta brand quality. The 7033's lower price point makes it an excellent choice for a backup pair or for first-time Elasta buyers who want to experience the brand without the higher investment. However, the 3022's double-bridge design and classic styling make it the more distinctive choice for those who want a frame with traditional character and professional presence.
Our recommendation: The Elasta 3022 stands out for its timeless double-bridge rectangle design, making it ideal for professionals who want a classic, conservative frame that works well with progressive lenses. Its stainless steel construction and mid-range pricing offer excellent value for a frame built to last years of daily wear.
