Caravelli 230

Caravelli 230 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Caravelli 230 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Blue/Black, Crystal/Black or Matt Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Caravelli range.

Choosing your Caravelli 230 colour

Blue/Black. The Blue/Black version is blue and black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Crystal/Black. Crystal/Black pairs crystal with black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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

About the Caravelli 230 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Caravelli 230 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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 Caravelli 230

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

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Caravelli 230. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Questions we often get

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Is the Caravelli 230 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.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
