L.K.Bennett 01

L.K.Bennett 01 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The L.K.Bennett 01 is a women’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-16-135, in Black & Tort, Brown or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the LK Bennett range.

Which colour is you?

Black & Tort. Black & Tort mixes black and tort. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Tort. Tort is a classic tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

About the L.K.Bennett 01 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special.

The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the L.K.Bennett 01 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 L.K.Bennett 01

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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 L.K.Bennett 01 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
