D252

D252 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The D252 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Black, Blue or Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Gun. The Gun version is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The D252 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

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

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 D252

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 37mm 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your D252 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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D252?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D252 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.

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-140: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
