CD7161

CD7161 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The CD7161 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 59-20-150, in Black or Dark Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carducci range.

Black or Dark Gun?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Dark Gun. The Dark Gun version is gunmetal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

Design details

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 CD7161 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

At 59mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 138mm.

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 CD7161

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 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your CD7161 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

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7161?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the CD7161 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 59mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

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.
