D227

D227 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The D227 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn collection.

The colour

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

About the D227 design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the D227 an easy pick for everyday wear.

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.

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. 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 D227

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 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your D227. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D227?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D227 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 52-16-140: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.
