CD7160

CD7160 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The CD7160 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 58-18-145, in Black or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carducci range.

Black or Dark Gun: which one is you?

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

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the CD7160 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

At 58mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 134mm.

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 CD7160

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

• 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.

The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your CD7160 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7160?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CD7160 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 58mm lenses it suits wider faces.

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.
