Matrix 216

Matrix 216 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Matrix 216 is a men’s full-rim metal rectangular frame in Gold. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Matrix range.

About the Matrix 216 colour

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

Design details

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

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Matrix 216 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Short hair and a clean shave make the frame shape stand out; with longer hair or a beard it reads as more relaxed.

Size and fit

Full frame measurements for the Matrix 216 are not listed yet. If you would like the lens width, bridge and arm length before you order, contact us and we will confirm them.

Lens options for the Matrix 216

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 216 before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Everyday wear

Good everyday glasses should be comfortable from breakfast to bedtime. Light materials, a secure fit and a classic look all help, and this frame ticks those boxes. Add the right lenses and it will handle screens, reading and driving with ease.

A second pair?

Plenty of people keep more than one pair of glasses: one for work, one for home, or a spare in the car. A second pair also means you are never stuck if your main glasses are being repaired. This frame is an easy choice for either role.

Your questions, answered

Can I wear the Matrix 216 for driving?

Yes. Single vision or progressive lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

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.
