Matrix 843

Matrix 843 Prescription Glasses

Not quite round, not quite square, and that is exactly why this shape works on so many faces. The Matrix 843 is a men’s full-rim rounded square frame, sized 53-19-145, in Black or Blue. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Matrix collection.

Choosing your Matrix 843 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Blue. The Blue version is navy. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

About the Matrix 843 design

The rounded corners and straight lines balance most face shapes, especially oval, square and heart-shaped faces. Small metal studs at the corners add a neat, vintage finishing touch.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Matrix 843 is a strong choice.

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.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Matrix 843

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

• 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.

From our lab to you

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 843 and sends the finished pair 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.
