D282

D282 Prescription Glasses

An aviator brings a touch of adventure to everyday glasses. The D282 is a unisex full-rim aviator frame, sized 56-14-145, in Black, Havana or Horn. 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.

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

Horn. The Horn version is horn brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

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

The aviator shape suits oval, square and heart-shaped faces. The double bridge is a nod to classic aviator style and makes the front feel sturdy.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D282 is easy to live with.

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

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 14mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the D282

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 47mm, 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your D282 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

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 D282?

Yes. The 47mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the D282 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 large frame?

Yes. With 56mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 14mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.
