DEL206

DEL206 Prescription Glasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The DEL206 is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 52-17-140, in Black, Crystal Pink or Matt Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Delancy collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Crystal Pink. Crystal Pink is a good everyday shade. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Matt Purple. Matt Purple is a good everyday shade. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the DEL206 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

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.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. 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 DEL206

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.

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.

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.

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 DEL206. 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 DEL206?

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

Is the DEL206 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 52-17-140: 52mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Where are my lenses made?
