L.K.Bennett 77

L.K.Bennett 77 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The L.K.Bennett 77 is a women’s full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-140, in Berry, Black or Tort. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our LK Bennett range.

Which colour is you?

Berry. The Berry version is berry red. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Tort. The Tort version is tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

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

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the L.K.Bennett 77 is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the L.K.Bennett 77 is a solid choice. The L.K.Bennett 77 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

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

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 77

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

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 77 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
