Polo 1164 vs. Similar Half-Rim Rectangle Frames
If you're considering the Polo 1164, you're likely comparing it to other half-rim rectangle frames in the Polo collection. The Polo 1157 is the closest alternative, offering nearly identical styling with a half-rim metal construction and rectangle shape. The main difference is sizing: the 1157 features a 55mm lens width compared to the 1164's 56mm, making it slightly better for narrower faces. Both are manufactured by Luxottica with the same quality standards and prescription compatibility.
The Polo 1175 represents another metal rectangle option in a similar price range ($88.37–$112.63), potentially offering a lower entry price. While it shares the professional metal aesthetic and Polo's accessible luxury positioning, the specific rim style and measurements may differ. The 1164's half-rim design is particularly valued for its lightweight feel and the way it shows more of your face—ideal if you want frames that don't dominate your appearance.
All three models are prescription-ready, compatible with progressive and bifocal lenses, and built from durable stainless steel. The choice often comes down to fit (the 1164's 56mm lens width suits most adult men) and whether you prefer the specific half-rim aesthetic of the 1164. For round or oval face shapes, any of these rectangle frames will add the structure and definition you're looking for.
