Tealby

Tealby Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The Tealby is a women’s full-rim round frame, sized 51-18-140, in Brown Tort, Ruby Tort or Turquoise Tort. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Walter & Herbert collection.

Choosing your Tealby colour

Brown Tort. In Brown Tort, the frame is brown tortoiseshell. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Ruby Tort. Ruby Tort is a red-toned tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Turquoise Tort. Turquoise Tort is easy to wear. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Tealby an easy pick for everyday wear.

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.

Size and fit

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Tealby

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.

Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

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.

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 Tealby. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.
