Visage Metal 429

Visage Metal 429 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Visage Metal 429 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-15-140, in Bronze, Gold or Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Visage collection.

Choosing your Visage Metal 429 colour

Bronze. Bronze is a warm, brownish metallic finish. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

The Visage Metal 429 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Visage Metal 429

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

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Visage Metal 429 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What is a double bridge?

A second bar across the top of the frame, above the nose. It is a classic aviator detail.
