Caravelli 221

Caravelli 221 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Caravelli 221 is a men’s full-rim plastic rectangular frame in Crystal Grey, Light Brown or Matt Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Caravelli collection.

3 colours to choose from

Crystal Grey. Crystal Grey is a good everyday shade. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Light Brown. The Light Brown version is amber and brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

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.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Caravelli 221 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

How it fits

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight.

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 Caravelli 221

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

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.

From our lab to you

Your Caravelli 221 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

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.

Your questions, answered

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I wear the Caravelli 221 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
