L.K.Bennett 66

L.K.Bennett 66 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The L.K.Bennett 66 is a women’s full-rim soft square frame, sized 50-16-140, in Gold/Teal or Tort / Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our LK Bennett collection.

Gold/Teal or Tort / Gold?

Gold/Teal. Gold/Teal pairs gold with teal. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Tort / Gold. Tort / Gold pairs tort with gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

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

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the L.K.Bennett 66 is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the L.K.Bennett 66 is a solid choice.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 L.K.Bennett 66

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.

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.

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 L.K.Bennett 66 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.
