Chantelle 985 Petite

Chantelle 985 Petite Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Chantelle 985 Petite is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 48-14-130, in Brown, Grey or Mint. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Brown. The Brown version is brown crystal. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Grey. The Grey version is grey crystal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Mint. The Mint version is mint crystal. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

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 softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 985 Petite an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

With 48mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 14mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 110mm.

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 Chantelle 985 Petite

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.

With a 29mm lens depth the lenses are slim, so single vision or bifocal lenses are the best match. 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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Chantelle 985 Petite and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.
