DEL112

DEL112 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The DEL112 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 50-16-140, in Lilac. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Delancy range.

The colour

Lilac. The Lilac version is purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the DEL112 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 DEL112

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.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your DEL112. 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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the DEL112?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the DEL112 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 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
