DEL180

DEL180 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The DEL180 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-140, in Black, Champagne or Matt Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Delancy collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Champagne. The Champagne version is champagne crystal. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

Matt Purple. Matt Purple is easy to wear. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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

About the DEL180 design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the DEL180 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 DEL180

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

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.

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 DEL180 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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 DEL180?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the DEL180 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 53-16-140: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

A clear, see-through finish.
