D254

D254 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The D254 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 55-17-145, in Black, Blue or Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is black that fades to grey. 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.

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.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D254 is a strong choice.

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.

Size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. 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 127mm.

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 D254

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

• 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 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your D254 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go 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 D254?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D254 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 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What does the colour fade look like?

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

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.
