D263

D263 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The D263 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 51-20-147, in Blue or Green. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn range.

Blue or Green?

Blue. The Blue version is blue that fades to brown striped. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Green. The Green version is green that fades to brown striped. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D263 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 147mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 D263

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.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your D263 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D263?

Yes. The 42mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the D263 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 51-20-147: 51mm lens width, 20mm bridge and 147mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

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

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.
