D182

D182 Prescription Glasses

Few shapes are as recognisable as the aviator. The D182 is a unisex full-rim aviator frame, sized 54-17-145, in Black, Crystal or Havana. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn range.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Havana. In Havana, the frame is tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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 D182 design

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The double bridge is a nod to classic aviator style and makes the front feel sturdy.

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 D182 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 D182

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

• 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 43mm, 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.

How your glasses are made

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 D182 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the D182?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D182 for driving?

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

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-145: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.

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.
