DM 863

DM 863 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The DM 863 is a unisex full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Grey/Black Mix or Navy/Silver. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Dario Martini collection.

Grey/Black Mix or Navy/Silver?

Grey/Black Mix. Grey/Black Mix is a soft, neutral grey. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Navy/Silver. Navy/Silver mixes navy and silver. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

The plastic frame is light on the nose and comfortable for all-day wear.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the DM 863 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

Lens options for the DM 863

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.

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

Your DM 863 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go 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.

Who it is for

This frame is a good fit for anyone who wants reliable everyday glasses without fuss. It works for long days at a desk, the school run, driving and catching up with friends, and it pairs with most wardrobes. If you are replacing an old pair, compare the measurements above with the glasses you wear now.

Questions we often get

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

Can I wear the DM 863 for driving?

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

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.
