D271

D271 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The D271 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 52-16-140, in Black, Grey or Crystal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn collection.

Choosing your D271 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

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

Crystal. The Crystal version is crystal clear. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

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 crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the D271 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

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 D271

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

• 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.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots 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.

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 D271. 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D271?

Yes. The 42mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the D271 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.

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.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through 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.
