D255

D255 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The D255 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 49-17-140, in Black, Grey or Havana. 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 defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Grey. The Grey version is translucent grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Havana. The Havana version 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.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the D255 an easy pick for everyday wear.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 115mm.

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 D255

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 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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 D255. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D255?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D255 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 small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

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.
