CD7170

CD7170 Prescription Glasses

Some frames just suit almost everyone. Rounded squares are high on that list. The CD7170 is a unisex full-rim metal rounded square frame, sized 51-17-140, in Black or Matt Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carducci range.

Black or Matt Purple: which one is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Matt Purple. Matt Purple is easy to wear. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CD7170 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 CD7170

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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your CD7170. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.
