D185

D185 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The D185 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Black, Blue or Gun. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the 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.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Gun. The Gun version is gunmetal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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.

Shape and style

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.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D185 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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 D185

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

The 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

How your glasses are made

Your D185 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go 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

Is the D185 suitable for varifocals?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I use the D185 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 54-17-140: 54mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm 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.
