DM 864

DM 864 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The DM 864 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Tortoise or Black. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Dario Martini collection.

Tortoise or Black?

Tortoise. Tortoise is a classic tortoiseshell. It is a classic option that goes with almost anything.

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

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

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

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

The DM 864 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

Frame size and fit

Full frame measurements for the DM 864 are not listed yet. If you would like the lens width, bridge and arm length before you order, contact us and we will confirm them.

Lens options for the DM 864

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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your DM 864 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.

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.

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

What is havana or tortoiseshell?

A mottled pattern of browns and ambers, a classic eyewear finish.

Can I wear the DM 864 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.
