Meridian Eyewear Rod

Meridian Eyewear Rod Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Meridian Eyewear Rod is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame in Black, Brown Two Tone, Dark Brown Mottle or Grey Two Tone. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Meridian Eyewear Collection.

4 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Brown Two Tone. In Brown Two Tone, the frame is brown that fades to clear. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Dark Brown Mottle. In Dark Brown Mottle, the frame is dark brown tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Grey Two Tone. The Grey Two Tone version is grey that fades to clear. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

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

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

Lens options for the Meridian Eyewear Rod

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive 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.

From our lab to you

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 Rod before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

FAQs

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.

Can I use the Meridian Eyewear Rod as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
