L.K.Bennett 04

L.K.Bennett 04 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The L.K.Bennett 04 is a women’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 51-15-140, in Blue Tort / Gold or Purple Tort / Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our LK Bennett range.

Choosing your L.K.Bennett 04 colour

Blue Tort / Gold. In Blue Tort / Gold, the frame is blue tortoiseshell. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Purple Tort / Gold. The Purple Tort / Gold version is purple tortoiseshell. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

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.

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the L.K.Bennett 04 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

Size and fit

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm 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 04

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

• 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.

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.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your L.K.Bennett 04 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?
