Chantelle 985 Petite

Chantelle 985 Petite Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Chantelle 985 Petite is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 48-14-130, in Brown, Grey or Mint. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

3 colours to choose from

Brown. The Brown version is brown crystal. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Grey. The Grey version is grey crystal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Mint. In Mint, the frame is mint crystal. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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

About the Chantelle 985 Petite design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 985 Petite an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

At 48mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 14mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 110mm.

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 Chantelle 985 Petite

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

With a 29mm lens depth the lenses are slim, so single vision or bifocal lenses are the best match. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

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.

From our lab to you

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 985 Petite and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
