Matrix 819

Matrix 819 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Matrix 819 is a women’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 51-17-135, in Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Matrix range.

Colour and finish

Purple. In Purple, the frame is purple that fades to pink. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Matrix 819 is a strong choice. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Matrix 819 is a solid choice.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

Size and fit

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 819

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.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Matrix 819 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

What size is it?

It is size 51-17-135: 51mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Is the Matrix 819 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.

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.
