DEL139

DEL139 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The DEL139 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 56-17-145, in Black, Blue or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Delancy range.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Havana. The Havana 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.

About the DEL139 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the DEL139 is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 129mm.

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 DEL139

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 DEL139 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the DEL139?

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

Can I wear the DEL139 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

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