CD7166

CD7166 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The CD7166 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-17-145, in Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Carducci range.

About the CD7166 colour

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The CD7166 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the CD7166

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

• 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.

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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your CD7166 and then sends your glasses 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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the CD7166?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CD7166 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
