Meridian Eyewear Marina

Meridian Eyewear Marina Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Meridian Eyewear Marina is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 51-16-135, in Brown, Brown/Pink or Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Meridian Eyewear Collection.

Choosing your Meridian Eyewear Marina colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Brown/Pink. Brown/Pink pairs brown with pink. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It adds warmth without being too bright, and it suits most skin tones.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

About the Meridian Eyewear Marina design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Meridian Eyewear Marina is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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 Marina

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

• 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 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Meridian Eyewear Marina and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Your questions, answered

Is the Meridian Eyewear Marina suitable for progressive lenses?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I use the Meridian Eyewear Marina as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 51-16-135: 51mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

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.
