L.K.Bennett 89

L.K.Bennett 89 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The L.K.Bennett 89 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-135, in Black / Gold, Gold / Cream or Light Gold. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our LK Bennett collection.

Which colour is you?

Black / Gold. The Black / Gold version is black and gold. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Gold / Cream. Gold / Cream mixes gold and cream. It keeps the look soft and understated, and it works especially well on fair skin.

Light Gold. Light Gold is a pale, champagne gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

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. Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the L.K.Bennett 89 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the L.K.Bennett 89

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

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.

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.

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 L.K.Bennett 89 and checked by our technicians before they are sent 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.

Questions we often get

Can I use the L.K.Bennett 89 as computer glasses?
