DEL147

DEL147 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The DEL147 is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 51-15-140, in Crystal Pink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Delancy range.

Colour and finish

Crystal Pink. In Crystal Pink, the frame is patterned pink. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the DEL147 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

The 51mm 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 117mm.

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 DEL147

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your DEL147 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the DEL147?

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

Can I wear the DEL147 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 51-15-140: 51mm 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.
