Visage Metal 4500

Visage Metal 4500 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Visage Metal 4500 is a women’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-17-135, in Gold or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Visage collection.

Gold or Pink: which one is you?

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is a gentle way to wear colour every day.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The Visage Metal 4500 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Visage Metal 4500

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

From our lab to you

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Visage Metal 4500 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Your questions, answered

Is the Visage Metal 4500 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Is the Visage Metal 4500 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-135: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

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.
