Matrix 832

Matrix 832 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Matrix 832 is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-18-145, in Brown or Smoke. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Matrix collection.

Brown or Smoke?

Brown. In Brown, the frame is brown that fades to clear. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Smoke. In Smoke, the frame is black that fades to smoke. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal 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.

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

The Matrix 832 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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 832

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Matrix 832 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

A little care goes a long way

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Your questions, answered

What size is it?

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