D221

D221 Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The D221 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 50-20-145, in Black, Grey or Havana. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn range.

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.

Grey. In Grey, the frame is striped grey. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

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

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.

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D221 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 D221

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

• 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Your D221 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.

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D221?

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

Is the D221 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

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.
