CD7097

CD7097 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The CD7097 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-18-140, in Gold or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Carducci collection.

Gold or Dark Gun: which one is you?

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

Dark Gun. The Dark Gun version is gunmetal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CD7097 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 128mm.

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 CD7097

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 CD7097. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

Is the CD7097 suitable for varifocals?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the CD7097 for driving?

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

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

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.
