Visage Metal 4556

Visage Metal 4556 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Visage Metal 4556 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-18-140, in Black or Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Visage range.

Black or Navy?

Black. In Black, the frame is black-gunmetal. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Visage Metal 4556 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

It works with workwear and weekend clothes alike, which is exactly what you want from an everyday frame.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm 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 Visage Metal 4556

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. 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

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Visage Metal 4556. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

Is the Visage Metal 4556 suitable for varifocals?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Is the Visage Metal 4556 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.

What size is it?

It is size 53-18-140: 53mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Is it unisex?

Yes. It suits men and women.

Who glazes my lenses?
