L.K.Bennett 68

L.K.Bennett 68 Prescription Glasses

Some frames just suit almost everyone. Rounded squares are high on that list. The L.K.Bennett 68 is a women’s full-rim metal rounded square frame, sized 50-17-135, in Gold, Nude or Rose Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our LK Bennett collection.

3 colours to choose from

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Nude. Nude is a soft skin-tone beige. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Rose Gold. Rose Gold is a soft pink-gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the L.K.Bennett 68 is easy to live with. Thinking of a second pair? The L.K.Bennett 68 works well as a backup.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Frame size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the L.K.Bennett 68

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 L.K.Bennett 68 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Your questions, answered

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the L.K.Bennett 68 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Where are my lenses made?
