CD7099

CD7099 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The CD7099 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 56-17-140, in Black or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Carducci collection.

Black or Dark Gun: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Dark Gun. In Dark Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the CD7099 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

At 56mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 129mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the CD7099

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your CD7099 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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7099?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the CD7099 for driving?

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

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.
