D182

D182 Prescription Glasses

Few shapes are as recognisable as the aviator. The D182 is a unisex full-rim aviator frame, sized 54-17-145, in Black, Crystal or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Brooklyn collection.

3 colours to choose from

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

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Havana. In Havana, the frame is tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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 aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The double bridge is a nod to classic aviator style and makes the front feel sturdy.

A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D182 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the D182

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.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

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 D182 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D182?

Yes. The 43mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D182 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 54-17-145: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.

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.
