CD7179

CD7179 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The CD7179 is a unisex full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 52-16-140, in Blue, Crystal Pink or Matt Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Carducci collection.

Which colour is you?

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Crystal Pink. In Crystal Pink, the frame is rose gold. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Matt Purple. Matt Purple is a good everyday shade. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. 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 CD7179 is easy to live with.

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.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 CD7179

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.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots 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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your CD7179 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the CD7179?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the CD7179 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.

What size is it?

It is size 52-16-140: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.
