L.K.Bennett 66

L.K.Bennett 66 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The L.K.Bennett 66 is a women’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 50-16-140, in Gold/Teal or Tort / Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our LK Bennett range.

Gold/Teal or Tort / Gold: which one is you?

Gold/Teal. Gold/Teal pairs gold with teal. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Tort / Gold. The Tort / Gold version is tortoiseshell. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

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

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the L.K.Bennett 66 is easy to live with.

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 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 L.K.Bennett 66

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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your L.K.Bennett 66 before sending them 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.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?
