DB9926

DB9926 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The DB9926 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-15-140, in Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Brooklyn Black Label collection.

About the DB9926 colour

Black. In Black, the frame is patterned black and grey. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the DB9926 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.

Frame size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 DB9926

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

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 DB9926. 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 DB9926?

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

Is the DB9926 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 53-15-140: 53mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
