Matrix 839

Matrix 839 Prescription Glasses

Four colours, one dependable shape. The Matrix 839 is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame that is easy to wear and easy on the budget, in black, grey, navy or crystal. It is sized 54-18-145 and can be made up with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Black is the classic. It looks sharp, suits every hair colour and goes with everything.

Grey is a deep charcoal that feels a little softer than black and works well with grey or silver hair.

Navy is smart and subtle, with a deep blue tone that looks great with blue eyes and denim.

Crystal has a clear front with black arms. It is light, modern and very easy to wear, because it lets your features do the talking.

Simple, strong and comfortable

The rectangular lenses add structure to round and oval faces, and small studs at the corners add a neat finishing touch. The full rim protects the lens edges, and the frame is light enough to wear all day.

A good fit for larger faces

The 145mm arms are a little longer than standard, so the Matrix 839 is a good option if regular frames feel tight behind the ears.

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium, and the 18mm bridge is average. Compare these numbers with the ones printed inside the arm of your current glasses.

Lens options for the Matrix 839

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

• 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.

Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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 Matrix 839 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Your questions, answered

What does crystal mean?

A clear, see-through front. On the Matrix 839 it is paired with black arms.

Can I use the Matrix 839 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need to see far away, both work well for desk work.

Will the Matrix 839 fit a larger head?

It should. The 145mm arms are a little longer than standard.

Is it a good frame for a spare pair?

Yes. It is affordable and classic, which makes it a popular choice as a second pair.

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.
