Chantelle 998

Chantelle 998 Prescription Glasses

If round and square both feel too ordinary, try a geometric shape. The Chantelle 998 is a unisex full-rim metal geometric frame, sized 53-18-140, in Gold, Pink or Silver. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Choosing your Chantelle 998 colour

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

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

Silver. Silver is a clean, bright silver. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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

The angular shape suits round and oval faces, where it adds definition and interest. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 998 an easy pick for everyday wear.

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 998

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.

At 46mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 998 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Chantelle 998?
