Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal

Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black, Blue or Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

How your glasses are made

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Chantelle 990 Swarovski Crystal and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
