D236

D236 Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The D236 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 48-20-140, in Blue, Grey or Tort / Green. 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?

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Tort / Green. Tort / Green pairs tort with green. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

Shape and style

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D236 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Frame size and fit

At 48mm 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 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 D236

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

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

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

Your D236 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.

Keep them looking new

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D236?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D236 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 48mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

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

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.
