D291

D291 Prescription Glasses

A good square frame is the white T-shirt of eyewear: simple, reliable and always in style. The D291 is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 53-17-140, in Black, Blue or Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn range.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is patterned blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

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

Design details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

It is a bolder frame, so it makes a statement without trying too hard.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D291 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 D291

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 41mm, 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your D291 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.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D291?

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

Is the D291 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

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

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.
