D187

D187 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The D187 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 56-17-145, in Black or Gun. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn collection.

Black or Gun?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Gun. In Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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.

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D187 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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.

How it fits

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. 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 129mm.

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 D187

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

• 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. 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.

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 D187 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the D187?

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

Can I use the D187 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Who glazes my lenses?
