D235

D235 Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The D235 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-140, in Black, Champagne or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooksfield collection.

Choosing your D235 colour

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

Champagne. The Champagne version is champagne crystal. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell. 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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The D235 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

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.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the D235

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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. 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.

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 D235 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D235?

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

Can I wear the D235 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-140: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Where are my lenses made?
