Meridian Eyewear Rome

Meridian Eyewear Rome Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Meridian Eyewear Rome is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 48-20-135, in Matt Black, Matt Brown Mottle or Matt Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Meridian Eyewear Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Matt Black. In Matt Black, the frame is matte black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Matt Brown Mottle. The Matt Brown Mottle version is matte brown tortoiseshell. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Matt Burgundy. In Matt Burgundy, the frame is matte burgundy. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

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

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. A matte finish gives the frame a soft, contemporary look.

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

Wearing it every day

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

Frame size and fit

With 48mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 Rome

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

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

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 Rome before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.
