CD7136 (half eye) Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The CD7136 (half eye) is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 52-20-145, in Gold or Dark Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carducci collection.

Gold or Dark Gunmetal: which one is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Dark Gunmetal. Dark Gunmetal is a deep charcoal metal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CD7136 (half eye) is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 CD7136 (half eye)

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.

With a 27mm lens depth the lenses are slim, so single vision or bifocal lenses are the best match. 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.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your CD7136 (half eye). Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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

Is the CD7136 (half eye) suitable for varifocals?

The 27mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Is the CD7136 (half eye) 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.

What size is it?

It is size 52-20-145: 52mm lens width, 20mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

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.
