Matrix 840

Matrix 840 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Matrix 840 is a women’s full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-135, in Blue, Purple or Sherry. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Matrix range.

3 colours to choose from

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Sherry. In Sherry, the frame is translucent sherry. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Matrix 840 is a strong choice. Thinking of a second pair? The Matrix 840 works well as a backup.

How to wear it

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Matrix 840

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

From our lab to you

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Matrix 840 before sending them 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.
