D175

D175 Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The D175 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 50-18-140, in Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn collection.

Colour and finish

Grey. The Grey version is patterned grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

The details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D175 is easy to live with.

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.

Frame size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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 D175

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your D175 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

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.

Everyday wear

Good everyday glasses should be comfortable from breakfast to bedtime. Light materials, a secure fit and a classic look all help, and this frame ticks those boxes. Add the right lenses and it will handle screens, reading and driving with ease.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D175?

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

Can I wear the D175 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 small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Who glazes my lenses?
