Matrix 818

Matrix 818 Prescription Glasses

Oval frames have a soft, gentle look that suits a lot of faces. The Matrix 818 is a women’s full-rim oval frame, sized 53-15-130, in Brown & Crystal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Matrix collection.

Colour and finish

Brown & Crystal. The Brown & Crystal version is crystal and brown. It is a fresh, modern choice that suits almost any skin tone.

Why you will like it

Oval lenses balance square and heart-shaped faces and keep the overall look soft. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Matrix 818 is easy to live with.

Styling tips

Match the frame colour to something you wear often, such as a favourite scarf or bag, for a pulled-together look. Neutral make-up keeps the focus on your eyes.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Matrix 818

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.

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.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

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 818 and sends the finished pair 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.
