Meridian Eyewear Forli

Meridian Eyewear Forli Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Meridian Eyewear Forli is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-16-140, in Brown, Lilac or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Meridian Eyewear Collection.

Which colour is you?

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Pink. In Pink, the frame is rose. It brightens the face and has a fresh, youthful feel.

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

Design details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. 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.

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

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

With 55mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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 Meridian Eyewear Forli

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 34mm 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.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Meridian Eyewear Forli before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

Is the Meridian Eyewear Forli suitable for progressive lenses?
