DM 871

DM 871 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The DM 871 is a women’s full-rim plastic cat-eye frame in Navy/Silver, Burgundy/Gold or Black/Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Dario Martini range.

Which colour is you?

Navy/Silver. Navy/Silver mixes navy and silver. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Burgundy/Gold. Burgundy/Gold mixes burgundy and gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Black/Gold. Black/Gold mixes black and gold. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. 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 871 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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.

Lens options for the DM 871

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.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your DM 871 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.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Questions we often get

Can I wear the DM 871 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.
