The Elasta 7196 Eyeglasses deliver professional style and all-day comfort in a durable stainless steel frame. Designed for men who need reliable prescription eyewear, this full-rim rectangle frame combines clean lines with practical features that make it a go-to choice for daily wear.
The frame is built from stainless steel, a material prized for its corrosion resistance, lightweight feel, and strength. Unlike heavier metals, stainless steel stays comfortable through long days at the office or behind the wheel. The full-rim construction provides maximum lens security and durability, while adjustable nose pads let you dial in a custom fit that won’t slip or pinch.
“Lightweight but very sturdy and comfortable frame. This is my second pair. I finally wore through the finish on the first after 5 years.” — Designer Optics customer
The 7196 is available in two lens widths—53mm and 55mm—with an 18mm bridge and temple lengths of 140mm or 145mm depending on size. The rectangle shape works especially well for round or oval faces, adding definition without overwhelming your features. The single-bridge design and skull temples (which curve gently inward) help the frames stay put during active pursuits.
These frames are prescription-ready and fully compatible with single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The full-rim design and medium frame height provide enough vertical space for progressive lens corridors, making them a solid choice for presbyopia correction. Choose from Brushed Dark Brown or Brushed Graphite finishes—both offer a understated, professional look that pairs well with business attire or casual wear.
Elasta is part of the Safilo Group, an Italian eyewear manufacturer with roots dating back to 1934. The brand focuses on affordable quality, using materials like stainless steel and titanium to create frames that balance durability with value. The 7196 reflects that philosophy: a straightforward, well-made frame that does its job without fuss.
