LK Bennett 03

LK Bennett 03 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The LK Bennett 03 is a women’s full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 53-15-135, in Black & Tort, Brown / Nude or Red. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the LK Bennett collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black & Tort. Black & Tort pairs black with tort. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Brown / Nude. Brown / Nude pairs brown with nude. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

Red. Red is a confident red. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

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

About the LK Bennett 03 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The LK Bennett 03 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. For a frame you will reach for daily, the LK Bennett 03 is a solid choice.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 LK Bennett 03

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.

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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your LK Bennett 03 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

What size is it?

It is size 53-15-135: 53mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Is the LK Bennett 03 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
