Caravelli 226

Caravelli 226 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Caravelli 226 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Grey, Bronze or Matt Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Caravelli range.

Which colour is you?

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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

About the Caravelli 226 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Caravelli 226 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

Size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces.

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 Caravelli 226

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

• 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.

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.

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 226 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.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Can I use the Caravelli 226 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

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.
