BR260

BR260 Prescription Glasses

Some frames just suit almost everyone. Rounded squares are high on that list. The BR260 is a unisex full-rim rounded square frame, sized 49-18-135, in Burgundy or Dark Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooksfield range.

Choosing your BR260 colour

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

Dark Purple. Dark Purple keeps things simple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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

Why you will like it

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the BR260 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 BR260

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 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your BR260 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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

Can I get varifocal lenses in the BR260?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the BR260 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 small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller 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.
