D288

D288 Prescription Glasses

Square frames add definition without trying too hard. The D288 is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 53-17-140, in Pink, Grey, Dark Purple or Green. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn range.

Which colour is you?

Pink. In Pink, the frame is striped pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

Grey. The Grey version is striped grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Dark Purple. In Dark Purple, the frame is striped purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Green. The Green version is striped green. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Design details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the D288 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 D288

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

• 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.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your D288 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D288?

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

Is the D288 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 53-17-140: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
