DM 162

DM 162 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The DM 162 is a women’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Gold/Pearl, Sil/Pearl or Rose/Gold/Pearl. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Dario Martini collection.

Choosing your DM 162 colour

Gold/Pearl. Gold/Pearl pairs gold with pearl. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Sil/Pearl. Sil/Pearl mixes sil and pearl. It is a classic option that goes with almost anything.

Rose/Gold/Pearl. Rose/Gold/Pearl is a soft dusty pink. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The rimless design is as light and minimal as glasses get.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The DM 162 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces.

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 DM 162

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

• 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.

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.

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.

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 DM 162 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

What does rimless mean?

There is no frame around the lenses. They are held by the bridge and arms only, which makes the glasses very light.

Is the DM 162 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.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
