CD7177

CD7177 Prescription Glasses

A rounded square gives you the softness of a round frame with a little more structure. The CD7177 is a unisex full-rim metal rounded square frame, sized 49-18-135, in Silver, Gold or Rose Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Carducci range.

Choosing your CD7177 colour

Silver. Silver is a clean, bright silver. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Rose Gold. Rose Gold is a soft pink-gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

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

Shape and style

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special. The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel. 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 CD7177 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 CD7177

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

• 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 38mm 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.

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 CD7177 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7177?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CD7177 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

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.
