Chantelle 997

Chantelle 997 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Chantelle 997 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 53-18-140, in Gold, Gunmetal or Rose. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Choosing your Chantelle 997 colour

Gold. In Gold, the frame is rose gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Rose. Rose is a soft dusty pink. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Chantelle 997 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 Chantelle 997

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.

At 47mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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.

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 Chantelle 997 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
