DM 899

DM 899 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The DM 899 is a women’s rimless metal soft square frame in Endura Gold, Silver or Gold/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.

Which colour is you?

Endura Gold. Endura Gold is easy to wear. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

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

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

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The DM 899 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Lens options for the DM 899

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

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.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your DM 899. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

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 semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Can I wear the DM 899 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.
