D186

D186 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The D186 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-17-140, in Black/Silver or Blue/Silver. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Brooklyn range.

Black/Silver or Blue/Silver?

Black/Silver. In Black/Silver, the frame is black and silver. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Blue/Silver. In Blue/Silver, the frame is blue and silver. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

About the D186 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D186 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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

Frame size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 D186

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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your D186. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D186?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D186 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.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

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.
