L.K.Bennett 07

L.K.Bennett 07 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The L.K.Bennett 07 is a women’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 49-16-135, in Dark Red Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our LK Bennett collection.

Colour and finish

Dark Red Tort. In Dark Red Tort, the frame is dark red tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

The L.K.Bennett 07 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

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

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 114mm.

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 L.K.Bennett 07

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

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

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.

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 07 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.
