D216

D216 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The D216 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-18-140, in Black, Gun or Denim. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Gun. In Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Denim. Denim is easy to wear. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. 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 D216 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 D216

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

The 35mm 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.

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 D216 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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 D216?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D216 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 53-18-140: 53mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
