Meridian Eyewear Venice

Meridian Eyewear Venice Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Meridian Eyewear Venice is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 53-18-143, in Brown, Lilac or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in 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 adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool 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.

Shape and style

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The Meridian Eyewear Venice is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Meridian Eyewear Venice is a solid choice.

How to wear it

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

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 143mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Meridian Eyewear Venice

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 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

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 Meridian Eyewear Venice and sends the finished pair 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Meridian Eyewear Venice?

Yes. The 35mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Meridian Eyewear Venice 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.

What size is it?

It is size 53-18-143: 53mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 143mm arms, a medium fit.

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.
