Chantelle 002

Chantelle 002 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Chantelle 002 is a unisex full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 53-16-135, in Black / Blue, Black/Gold or Black/Silver. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Black / Blue. Black / Blue pairs black with blue. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Black/Gold. Black/Gold pairs black with gold. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Black/Silver. Black/Silver mixes black and silver. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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

Why you will like it

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Chantelle 002 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 002

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 36mm 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.

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

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 002 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Chantelle 002?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Chantelle 002 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or progressive lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-135: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

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.
