Caravelli 227

Caravelli 227 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Caravelli 227 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Matt Black, Gunmetal or Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Caravelli range.

Which colour is you?

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

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Navy. The Navy version is blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

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 227 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Caravelli 227 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Styling tips

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.

Frame size and fit

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

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 227

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

• 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.

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 Caravelli 227. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Your questions, answered

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Is the Caravelli 227 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Who glazes my lenses?
