CD7173

CD7173 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The CD7173 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 51-17-135, in Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Carducci collection.

Colour and finish

Black. The Black version is black and silver. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the CD7173 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm 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 CD7173

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 35mm 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.

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 CD7173 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7173?

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

Can I use the CD7173 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.

What size is it?

It is size 51-17-135: 51mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
