Matrix 844

Matrix 844 Prescription Glasses

Round glasses have a quiet, clever charm that never really goes out of style. The Matrix 844 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 49-19-140, in Black, Brown, Crystal or Grey. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Matrix range.

4 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Crystal. In Crystal, the frame is crystal clear. It blends in rather than stands out, which many people find easy to wear every day.

Grey. The Grey version is crystal blue-grey. 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

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

The Matrix 844 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. The Matrix 844 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

Wearing it every day

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.

Frame size and fit

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 117mm.

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 Matrix 844

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

• 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 Matrix 844 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
