D216

D216 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The D216 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-18-140, in Black, Gun or Denim. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Brooklyn range.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Gun. In Gun, the frame is gunmetal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Denim. Denim is easy to wear. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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.

About the D216 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D216 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 D216

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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.

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 D216. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

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 D216?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D216 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 53-18-140: 53mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Who glazes my lenses?
