Matrix 824

Matrix 824 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Matrix 824 is a men’s full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Black, Brown or Grey. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Matrix range.

3 colours to choose from

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

Brown. In Brown, the frame is black that fades to brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

The Matrix 824 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend. Thinking of a second pair? The Matrix 824 works well as a backup.

Wearing it every day

It looks sharp with a collared shirt and works just as well with a T-shirt. If you have a beard, a slightly bolder frame balances the face nicely.

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. 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 824

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

• 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.

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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

From our lab to you

Your Matrix 824 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.
