DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Cargo C5047 eyeglasses deliver professional style and everyday durability in a classic oval metal frame. Manufactured by Aspex Eyewear, these prescription-ready frames feature full-rim stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and stands up to daily wear without the premium price tag of titanium.

The oval shape works across face types—especially flattering on square, rectangular, and diamond-shaped faces where the soft curves balance angular features. The thin metal profile keeps the focus on your eyes, not your frames, making these a versatile choice for work, casual wear, or anywhere you need a clean, understated look.

Built for Comfort and Fit

Adjustable silicone nose pads let you customize the fit to your unique nose bridge, distributing weight evenly to prevent slipping and pressure points during all-day wear. The single-bridge design and lightweight stainless steel construction (21mm bridge, 140mm temples) mean you can wear these for hours without the nose indentations or ear discomfort that heavier frames cause.

Available in multiple finishes including Satin Dark Grey, Satin Dark Brown, and Satin Black, plus three magnetic clip-on variants for sun protection. The frames ship with a protective case and cleaning cloth, and Cargo backs them with a one-year manufacturer's warranty against defects.

Prescription-Ready and Affordable

These frames accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescription lenses. Stainless steel's durability and rust resistance make it a smart long-term investment—frames that maintain their finish and structural integrity far longer than budget alternatives. At this price point, the C5047 offers exceptional value for anyone seeking reliable, professional eyewear without sacrificing quality or style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Cargo C5047 eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Cargo C5047 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The oval shape and adequate lens height make them suitable for multifocal prescriptions. You can customize them with any lens material, coatings, and treatments during checkout.

What are the frame measurements for the Cargo C5047?

The Cargo C5047 features an oval lens shape with a 21mm bridge width and 140mm temple length. The full-rim metal construction uses a single-bridge design. These measurements provide a comfortable medium fit suitable for most adult face sizes.

Do these frames have adjustable nose pads?

Yes, the Cargo C5047 includes adjustable silicone nose pads that can be customized to fit your unique nose bridge. These pads distribute weight evenly, prevent slipping, and reduce pressure points—especially beneficial for extended wear or lower nose bridges.

Are stainless steel eyeglass frames durable?

Stainless steel frames are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, rust, and tarnishing. They're lightweight yet strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear. While less flexible than titanium, stainless steel offers similar longevity at a more affordable price point and maintains its appearance over years of use.

What face shapes work best with oval eyeglass frames?

Oval frames are particularly flattering on angular face shapes including square, rectangular, diamond, and heart-shaped faces. The soft curves create contrast and balance with defined facial features. They're also versatile enough to work on round faces when choosing thinner rim styles.

Does the Cargo C5047 come with a warranty?

Yes, Cargo eyewear includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The frames come with an authentic case and cleaning cloth. Aspex Eyewear has been manufacturing quality frames since 1965.

Cargo C5047 vs. Similar Metal Eyeglasses

Shopping for affordable metal frames? Here's how the Cargo C5047 stacks up against comparable options in our collection.

Cargo C5047 vs. Cargo C5038 & C5018

All three models share the same DNA: stainless steel construction, adjustable nose pads, and the same $52.99-$86.14 price range. The main difference is frame shape and styling. The C5047's oval silhouette is the most universally flattering, especially for angular faces. If you prefer a different aesthetic, the C5038 and C5018 offer alternative shapes while maintaining the same Aspex quality and one-year warranty. Choose based on which frame shape complements your face—all three deliver the same durability and value.

Cargo C5047 vs. Flexon 609

The Flexon 609 ($92-$97) represents a step up in technology and price. While the Cargo C5047 uses durable stainless steel, Flexon frames feature memory metal that returns to its original shape even after bending—ideal if you're hard on your glasses or need maximum flexibility. The trade-off? You'll pay about $40 more. For most wearers, the C5047's stainless steel offers plenty of durability at a better value. But if you've broken frames before or want the peace of mind that comes with near-indestructible construction, the Flexon is worth the upgrade.

Our take: The Cargo C5047 hits the sweet spot for everyday wearers who want reliable, professional-looking frames without overspending. It's a smart choice for your primary pair, and the savings leave room in your budget for prescription lens upgrades or a second pair.
