L.K.Bennett 88

L.K.Bennett 88 Prescription Glasses

Look closely at the arms of the L.K.Bennett 88 and you will see what makes it special: a gold chain-link detail that looks like a piece of jewellery. The front is a bold, softly squared shape with a gentle lift at the corners. This women’s full-rim frame comes in red, blue and tortoiseshell, or black and tortoiseshell, and it is sized 52-15-140.

Three colours to choose from

Red is a deep burgundy red with tortoiseshell inside the arms. It is confident and glamorous, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

Blue and tortoiseshell pairs a deep navy front with warm tortoiseshell arms. It is smart and very wearable.

Black and tortoiseshell is the classic. A glossy black front frames the eyes, while the tortoiseshell inside adds warmth.

Designer details

The gold chain detail on the arms is a signature touch, and the slightly upswept shape flatters round, oval and heart-shaped faces. It is the kind of frame that people ask about.

Who it suits

The L.K.Bennett 88 is for women who see their glasses as part of their outfit. It is bold enough to make a statement, but the classic colours keep it easy to wear every day.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make it a medium frame, the 15mm bridge is narrow, and the 140mm arms are a standard length. Compare these numbers with a pair you already own.

Lens options for the L.K.Bennett 88

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, middle and far in one lens with no line.
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optician for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your L.K.Bennett 88 and checks every pair before it leaves our lab.

Looking after them

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

FAQs

What is the detail on the arms?

A gold chain-link detail that gives the frame a jewellery-like finish.

Can I use the L.K.Bennett 88 as computer glasses?

Will the L.K.Bennett 88 suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is narrower than most frames.

Which colour is the most versatile?

Black and tortoiseshell. It goes with everything.

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.
