Chantelle 999

Chantelle 999 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Chantelle 999 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-15-140, in Gold, Pink or Silver. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Pink. In Pink, the frame is rose. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

Silver. Silver is a clean, bright silver. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 999 an easy pick for everyday wear. Thinking of a second pair? The Chantelle 999 works well as a backup.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 999

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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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

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 999 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 999?

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

Can I use the Chantelle 999 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 54-15-140: 54mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm 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.
