Matrix 817

Matrix 817 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Matrix 817 is a women’s full-rim rectangular frame in Brown & Crystal or Pink & Crystal. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Matrix collection.

Brown & Crystal or Pink & Crystal: which one is you?

Brown & Crystal. Brown & Crystal pairs brown with crystal. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Pink & Crystal. Pink & Crystal pairs pink with crystal. Because light passes through it, the frame looks lighter on the face and lets your features do the talking.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Matrix 817 is easy to live with.

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.

Lens options for the Matrix 817

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Matrix 817. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Your questions, answered

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Is the Matrix 817 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 crystal mean?

A clear, see-through finish.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
