DM 896

DM 896 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The DM 896 is a women’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Silver, Pale Gold or Rose Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Dario Martini range.

3 colours to choose from

Silver. Silver is a clean, bright silver. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Pale Gold. Pale Gold is a good everyday shade. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Rose Gold. Rose Gold is a soft pink-gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. With no rim around the lenses, the frame almost disappears on the face.

The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the DM 896 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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 896

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

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

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

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your DM 896 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.

Your questions, answered

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 896 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.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
