D186

D186 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The D186 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-17-140, in Black/Silver or Blue/Silver. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Brooklyn range.

Black/Silver or Blue/Silver: which one is you?

Black/Silver. The Black/Silver version is black and silver. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Blue/Silver. In Blue/Silver, the frame is blue and silver. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D186 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the D186

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your D186 and then sends your glasses 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 D186?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the D186 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

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.
