The Polo 1179 Eyeglasses bring classic round styling to everyday prescription eyewear. These men's frames feature a full-rim metal construction with a tortoise havana accent rim that wraps the circular lenses, paired with slim gold-tone temples and adjustable nose pads for a customized fit.
Built from stainless steel, the frame balances durability with lightweight comfort. The 48mm and 51mm lens sizes accommodate a range of face shapes, while the 20mm bridge and 145mm temples provide a secure fit that won't slip during daily wear. The metal construction allows for easy adjustments by an optician to dial in the perfect fit for your face.
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The round shape provides ample vertical height for progressive lens corridors, and the adjustable metal nose pads let you fine-tune the frame position so each prescription zone sits exactly where you need it. Available in multiple finishes including Dark Rose Gold, Semishiny Dark Gunmetal, Gunmetal, and Havana with gold accents, the Polo 1179 delivers versatile style that works from the office to the weekend.
Polo Ralph Lauren eyewear reflects the brand's preppy American aesthetic—clean, confident, and built to last. The Polo 1179 is no exception, offering a refined round silhouette that complements oval, square, and heart-shaped faces without overwhelming your features.

Nice
Ralph Lauren frames too big for my face for prescription lenses so I gave them to one of my daughters to make into sunglasses. Quality frames. Thanks.
Good pair of glasses, they were quality and got em for super cheap so worth it.
I was pleasantly surprised with this pair even though it turns out that the arms do not swing out which kind of a retro style for this model. Swing out (or 180 fold) makes it easier to wear and also protects the glasses from accidental breakage.I do like the Polo 1179 model though, aside form the lack of this feature (which is the main drawback for me personally) but over-all this is a very well made pair and looks good. I really think that more information and expanded feature list in the description section is warranted to help buyers identify issues like this.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Polo 1179 eyeglasses compatible with progressive lenses?
Yes, the Polo 1179 frames are fully compatible with progressive lenses. The round shape provides sufficient vertical lens height for the three vision zones (distance, intermediate, and near) to transition smoothly. The adjustable metal nose pads allow you to position the frame so the progressive corridor aligns properly with your line of sight.
What size should I choose: 48mm or 51mm?
The lens width (48mm or 51mm) should match your face size and pupillary distance. The 48mm size works well for smaller to average faces, while the 51mm suits medium to larger faces. Both sizes share the same 20mm bridge width and 145mm temple length. If you're between sizes, consider your current glasses' measurements or consult with an optician.
What material are the Polo 1179 frames made from?
The Polo 1179 frames are constructed from stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant metal alloy that's both lightweight and durable. Stainless steel frames are hypoallergenic, making them suitable for sensitive skin, and they hold their shape well over time while remaining easy for opticians to adjust for a custom fit.
Do these frames come with a case and cleaning cloth?
Yes, authentic Polo eyeglasses typically include manufacturer packaging with a protective case. As an authorized Polo retailer, Designer Optics ships all Polo frames with their original packaging and any included accessories to ensure you receive a complete, authentic product.
Can I add prescription lenses to the Polo 1179?
Absolutely. The Polo 1179 is prescription-ready and accepts all lens types including single vision, bifocals, progressives, and readers. You can also add lens coatings like anti-reflective, blue light blocking, or transitions, and choose from various lens materials including standard plastic, polycarbonate, or high-index for stronger prescriptions.
How durable are Polo Ralph Lauren eyeglass frames?
Polo Ralph Lauren frames are known for quality construction and durability. Customer reviews frequently mention frames lasting years without needing repairs, with hinges that hold strong and finishes that stay smooth. The stainless steel construction of the Polo 1179 is particularly resistant to corrosion and everyday wear, making these frames a reliable choice for daily use.
