D116

D116 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The D116 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 55-17-140, in Black or Blue. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Brooklyn range.

Choosing your D116 colour

Black. The Black version is black that fades to crystal. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Blue. The Blue version is striped blue. It reads as polished and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything. The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

The D116 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

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 D116

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in Canada are advised to have an eye exam every two years, and your optometrist 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.

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 D116 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your sweater, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the D116?

Yes. The 41mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the D116 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or varifocal lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.
