DEL143

DEL143 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The DEL143 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 54-16-140, in Matt Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Delancy range.

Colour and finish

Matt Purple. Matt Purple is a good everyday shade. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

About the DEL143 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the DEL143 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the DEL143

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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 DEL143 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the DEL143?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.
