DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The SpyOptic Vaughn Large 573488 prescription eyeglasses bring bold rectangular style to everyday wear. This is the large-fit version of SpyOptic's popular Vaughn frame, designed for those who need a 56mm lens width and generous coverage. The flat-top rectangular shape delivers a confident, masculine look that works equally well in the office or off-duty.

Handmade Acetate Construction

These frames are cut from handmade cellulose acetate, a plant-based material that's stronger and more flexible than standard injection-molded plastic. Acetate is built in layers, which gives it depth, durability, and resistance to cracking over time. The matte black and glossy black finishes maintain their color without fading or chipping, even with daily wear. At 56-17-150mm, the Vaughn Large fits wider faces comfortably and accommodates progressive or bifocal lenses without issue.

Spring Hinges for All-Day Comfort

High-quality spring hinges are built into the temples, allowing the arms to flex outward beyond the standard 90-degree angle. This means the frame adjusts to your head rather than pinching it. Spring hinges reduce pressure on the temples, prevent headaches during extended wear, and make the frame far more resistant to accidental damage. If you've ever snapped a pair of glasses by opening them too wide, you'll appreciate the added give.

The Vaughn Large is fully prescription-ready and ships with demo lenses that can be replaced with your single-vision, progressive, or bifocal prescription. The full-rim design secures lenses firmly, and the 17mm bridge provides a stable, balanced fit. Available in matte black (374000) and glossy black (038000), both colorways pair with the signature SPY logo detail on the temples. Free shipping and lens upgrade options are available at checkout.

DONT BUY FROM DESIGNER OPTICS

I’ve already filed a BBB complaint. My two day glasses with overnight shipping took over 2 weeks. They shipped even though I requested to cancel several times before they actually sent them out. It’s been over a month and I’m still waiting for a refund. Save yourselves the trouble and buy somewhere else.

Great Price!!!

I broke my prescription frames at work. Looked for a replacement pair to pop my lenses in and found DesignerOptics. They had exactly what I needed at a great price. My lenses fit perfectly and I now can see again at work. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the SpyOptic Vaughn Large eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Vaughn Large 573488 frames are fully prescription-ready. They accommodate single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds prescription lenses, and the 56mm lens width provides enough surface area for complex prescriptions including progressives.

What size face do the Vaughn Large frames fit?

The Vaughn Large features a 56mm lens width, which is classified as a large fit. This size is designed for wider faces or those who prefer more coverage. The 150mm temple length and 17mm bridge provide a comfortable fit for medium to large head sizes without pinching.

What are the benefits of spring hinges on eyeglasses?

Spring hinges allow the temple arms to flex outward beyond 90 degrees, which reduces pressure on your head and prevents the tight, pinching feeling of rigid frames. They're more comfortable for all-day wear, accommodate different head sizes, and are significantly more durable because they resist breaking when accidentally over-extended.

How durable are acetate eyeglass frames?

Acetate frames are significantly more durable than standard plastic frames. They're made by layering and cutting solid acetate sheets rather than injection molding, which makes them more resistant to cracking, better at maintaining their shape over time, and less likely to become brittle with age. The layered construction also keeps colors from fading or chipping.

What's the difference between the Vaughn and Vaughn Large?

The Vaughn Large (56-17-150mm) has a larger lens width and longer temples than the standard Vaughn 54 (54-16-135mm). The Large version provides more coverage and is designed for wider faces, while the standard Vaughn fits medium face sizes. Both share the same flat-top rectangular shape and acetate construction.

Can I use these frames for bifocal or progressive lenses?

Yes, the Vaughn Large's 56mm lens height and full-rim construction make it compatible with both bifocal and progressive lenses. The rectangular shape provides enough vertical space for the progressive corridor, and the stable acetate frame holds multi-focal lenses securely without distortion.

SpyOptic Vaughn Large vs. Vaughn 54: Which Size Is Right for You?

The most common question about the Vaughn Large is how it compares to the standard Vaughn 54. Both frames share the same flat-top rectangular design, handmade acetate construction, and spring hinges—the difference is entirely about fit.

The Vaughn Large (56-17-150mm) is designed for wider faces and those who prefer more coverage. The 56mm lens width falls into the "large" category, and the 150mm temples ensure the arms don't pinch behind your ears. If your current glasses are 55mm or larger, or if you've ever felt standard frames are too narrow, the Large is the better choice.

The Vaughn 54 (54-16-135mm) fits medium-width faces comfortably. It's slightly lighter and more compact, making it ideal if you prefer a less oversized look or if your face measurements fall in the 52-54mm range. The shorter 135mm temples work well for average head sizes.

Our recommendation: If you're between sizes, the Vaughn Large offers more flexibility thanks to its spring hinges, which adjust to your head. However, if you know you wear medium frames comfortably, the Vaughn 54 will feel more proportional. Both versions deliver the same quality and durability—it's purely a fit decision.

Vaughn Large vs. SpyOptic Brody: Style Comparison

The SpyOptic Brody 573493 is another rectangular acetate frame in a similar price range ($97.37). While both are prescription-ready with spring hinges, the Brody has a softer, more rounded rectangular shape compared to the Vaughn Large's bold flat-top design. If you're drawn to the Vaughn's masculine, retro-inspired flat-top look, the Brody may feel too subtle. But if you want a versatile rectangle that's slightly less statement-making, the Brody is worth considering. The Vaughn Large remains the stronger choice for those specifically seeking that flat-top aesthetic and large-fit sizing.
