Your glasses and sunglasses are meant to help you see but also to express your personality. Some frames can even allow you to change your look. Share your tastes and desires with partner opticians who can help you find the frame that's right for you. Until your next visit to one of our stores, here are some things to keep in mind when choosing your frames:

• The lower part of your glasses should not touch your face, or even your cheekbones when you smile.
• Check that your eye is well centered in the lens and your eyelashes are not in contact with the lenses.
• Respect the line of your eyebrows. They must not be concealed by the frame of your glasses, nor be visible in the lenses.
• The frame of your glasses should be between the outer corner of the eye and the end of the temple.

Yes. Frames should first be chosen based on the required vision correction. The advice of your expert optician is essential.
Do you have mild myopia? If so, you have no particular constraints on your lenses and can therefore wear all types of frames.
Do you have severe myopia? Your choice is more limited. Opt for smaller frame circles to minimize the thickness at the edge and a plastic material to hide the thickness of the lens. For best results, we recommend opting for thinner lenses.
Are you highly hyperopic? Choose a larger frame with aspherical lenses to limit the 'magnifying effect' on your eyes.
Do you need progressive lenses? Your frame must offer a minimum height. Your glasses are thicker in the center; today, there are solutions to limit the magnifying effect. In order to guarantee optimum comfort, certain models of glasses are therefore excluded.

This is the distance between the center of the two pupils from the center of the nose. For more information: Ask your ophthalmologist or optician to take this measurement using a pupillometer. Find your pupillary gaps using an old file and / or authenticity card if you wear glasses. Ask a loved one to take a picture of you at a distance of 2 m, place a card or card of 85 mm on your forehead so that our opticians can correctly use the picture and determine the pupillary distances.

Like any material, your lenses undergo normal wear and tear due to their use. We recommend that you wipe the lenses down with a microfiber cloth before each use. Your expert optician will give you one with your purchase. Are your glasses dirty? Suitable sprays exist. Otherwise, wash them in cold water with liquid soap (hot water damages the treatments). Wipe them with a microfiber cloth. Avoid paper towels that scratch glasses. Products containing harsh chemical compounds such as bleach are also strongly discouraged.

If you already have a pair of glasses, you can use the references of your current pair. The size of the glasses is printed on most prescription or sunglasses on the inside of one of the temples. These measures consist of three numbers (52-18 140 for example). These figures are expressed in millimeters and correspond to the following measurements: width of the lens, width of the bridge then length of the branches.
From one model to another, the references won’t be exactly the same: the width of the lens and that of the bridge depend essentially on the shape of the frame. The most important is the measurement of the height of the lens and the total width of the frame.
On the site of our partner e-shops, all products have a description of size information. You can even try on your glasses online to check the fit of the glasses with your face shape.

Considering a return or an exchange? Contact the store where you bought the pair of glasses for advice and assistance in returning the product. Don't forget to bring your invoice or your order number. The merchant will share with you the procedure to follow. Please note, the returns process is different for purchases made online and in store.

DbyD sustainable journey has just begun! The brand works on different sustainable developments to bring positive change to the people and the planet. Our ambition is to become a spearhead of responsible design and development within the eyewear industry. By improving step by step the raw material, product design & supply chain, we work toward giving accessible mindful eyewear at a global scale.

DbyD has meticulously selected innovative materials to drastically reduce the impact on the environment : our sunglasses assortment, for instance, use 100% of them.

Packaging is also a key area that DbyD is working on. A microfiber pouch made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester is available when purchasing a DbyD frame! In parallel, we are also creating a sustainable semi-rigid case that will be available in-store from October 2021. This case will guarantee more protection for your new frame and facilitate transportation.

Acetate is a polymer widely used in eyewear products. It's made from cellulose acetate, a fiber derived from cotton or wood pulp, and blended with a plasticizer that enhances the material's physical characteristics and workability.

Traditional plasticizers come from fossil-based sources; in bio-based acetate, they are replaced by plant-based plasticizing solutions (e.g., cereals, beet, or sugar cane).

Standard / regular acetate has a bio-based carbon content of around 40% due to the natural origin of the cellulose; DbyD Bio acetate Plus collection increases the bio-based carbon content to 67%.

GrandVision is working on the percentage of renewable content for the main components that are used to do the DbyD frames and sunglasses. The improvements for this collection are focused on the M49-bioacetate, CR39 for the sunlens and acrylic for its demo lens used on optical frames. 

First, 

• M49 cellulose acetate contains in its own structure made with 68% of bio content and 32% of fossil carbon that is used in order to maintain the technical characteristics, workability and flexibility of the cellulose acetate. Grandvision, together with its partner Mazzucchelli, is working on the possibility to replace the portion of the material made by fossil carbon with the one obtained from recycled content. This technology is brand new on the market and exists since 2020 only. 
  
• CR39 material, used for the sunlens is a plastic polymer belonging to the polyester class. Currently this material does not contain recycled content yet as it is technically not possible. CR39 is however recyclable. Grandvision has designed DbyD sunglasses product using this specific lens material as it is one the most durable on the market and has strong resistance properties. Grandvision R&D is studying alternatives solutions containing recycled content in its sunlenses whithout any compromise on durability and quality.  
  
• For acrylic material, there is no available material on the market containing recycled or renewable content when DbyD bioacetate line has been developed. Grandvision is working on alternatives to improve the percentage of renewable content in its demo lenses: investigations are led with the support of RFH (Regional fulfillments Hub) where the lenses are cut and edged to recycle the ones from frames and turn into new ones.  
  
• There is no renewable content in Hinges -nickel/silver (0%) and Screw (0%) yet.
