Chantelle 983

Chantelle 983 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Chantelle 983 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-15-135, in Brown, Burgundy or Pink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Choosing your Chantelle 983 colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is a gentle way to wear colour every day.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

The Chantelle 983 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Chantelle 983

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.

The 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Chantelle 983. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

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.
