Visage Metal 406

Visage Metal 406 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Visage Metal 406 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 57-22-145, in Dark Gunmetal, Gold or Light Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Visage range.

Which colour is you?

Dark Gunmetal. The Dark Gunmetal version is light gunmetal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

Light Gunmetal. Light Gunmetal is a pale, silvery grey metal. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Visage Metal 406 is easy to live with. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Visage Metal 406 is a solid choice.

Styling tips

Because it is unisex, it is easy to share the look across the household. Pick the colour that matches your wardrobe rather than worrying about who it is designed for.

Size and fit

At 57mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 22mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 136mm.

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 Visage Metal 406

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

• 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 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

How your glasses are made

Your Visage Metal 406 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Visage Metal 406?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Visage Metal 406 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 57mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 22mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

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.
