Du Maurier

Du Maurier Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Du Maurier is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 50-16-135, in Blue, Brown or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Walter & Herbert range.

Which colour is you?

Blue. The Blue version is patterned blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Brown. In Brown, the frame is patterned brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Pink. The Pink version is patterned pink. It is a gentle way to wear colour every day.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

About the Du Maurier design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Du Maurier an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

Choose the darker colour for the office and the lighter one for a more relaxed look. Either way, it is an easy frame to wear every day.

Size and fit

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 Du Maurier

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Du Maurier and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

FAQs

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Is the Du Maurier 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.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
