D293

D293 Prescription Glasses

A round frame is an easy way to add a little character. The D293 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 50-19-145, in Black or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn collection.

Choosing your D293 colour

Black. The Black version is black and gold. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Havana. The Havana version is tortoiseshell and gold. 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.

About the D293 design

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D293 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 D293

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

• 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 44mm, 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 D293 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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 D293?

Yes. The 44mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D293 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 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

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.
