D116

D116 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The D116 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 55-17-140, in Black or Blue. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn collection.

Black or Blue?

Black. In Black, the frame is black that fades to crystal. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Blue. The Blue version is striped blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

About the D116 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the D116 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Frame size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 D116

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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 41mm, 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your D116 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the D116?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D116 for driving?

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

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

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.
