D272

D272 Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The D272 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 49-20-140, in Black, Blue or Dark Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. The Black version is patterned black and grey. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Blue. The Blue version is patterned blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Dark Purple. In Dark Purple, the frame is patterned purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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.

About the D272 design

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the D272 an easy pick for everyday wear.

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 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the D272

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.

At 44mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your D272. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D272?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D272 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

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

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.
