☀️ Life in Full Colour ☀️

Sunglasses and summer go hand in hand, but not all sunglasses are created equal.

At Matthews Eyecare, we love ZEISS Sunlens Prescription Sunglass Lenses for the same reason we love independent eyewear design: precision, comfort, and craftsmanship that make every day clearer.

From glare on the road to bright summer afternoons, quality lenses make all the difference. Lightweight, durable, and perfectly fitted to your prescription, ZEISS Vision lenses let you enjoy vibrant colour and effortless vision wherever the season takes you.

Summer’s coming. Make sure your eyes are ready for it.

🌼 See the season clearly — protect your eyes from UV and glare.

As the weather warms up, remember that UV exposure can damage your eyes just like your skin. Glare from roads, water, and sand adds even more strain — especially under NZ’s strong sunshine.

That’s why Matthews Eyecare partners with ZEISS to bring advanced prescription sunglasses to Aotearoa — combining protection, clarity, and comfort.

👓 From your eye exam to your optimal lenses.

Behind every pair of ZEISS lenses is a story of precision, innovation, and care.

At Matthews Eyecare, we partner with ZEISS Vision to ensure your lenses are crafted to the highest standards — tailored to your eyes, lifestyle, and comfort.

From your consultation with our optometrists, through state-of-the-art measurement, to the moment you collect your glasses, every step is designed with one goal: helping you see your world clearly.

✨ Independent design matters. ✨

Independence is at the heart of who we are — and why we partner with independent designers who share our values. Designers like J.F. Rey, a French eyewear house known for bold colours, avant-garde shapes, and uncompromising craftsmanship.

The sunglasses pictured here — the Bianca — reflect exactly that spirit: striking faceted acetate, hand-finished detailing, and polarised lenses that combine style and comfort.

We’re proud to bring eyewear like this home, so you can experience the best of independent design right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

When was the last time your glasses had a service?

Over time, even the best frames can lose their perfect fit. A simple adjustment or repair can make all the difference — keeping your glasses comfortable, balanced, and ensuring they continue to support your vision.

At Matthews Eyecare, we offer ongoing care for your eyewear:
✔ Tightening hinge screws
✔ Replacing worn nose pads
✔ Adjusting fit for comfort
✔ Professional cleaning and maintenance

It’s a free service we’re proud to provide — so your glasses always feel right. Come and see us in-store anytime.

Amy Young, one of our optometrists here at , received this beautiful gift of fresh eggs from a grateful patient. We couldn't help but admire how beautiful these egg-shell colours were. We're told the colour is due to the breed of chicken.

What a lovely way to say thank you. We can't express enough how grateful we are to work alongside such a wonderful community.

These GORDON frames hit all the right notes. We love the playfulness in colour, shine, and matte finishes. The original design was inspired by the roughness of industrial machinery.

If these FACE À FACE frames feel like you, come try on a pair at your local store: http://www.matthews.co.nz

Thinner. Lighter. Crisper.
We're obsessed with ZEISS ClearView single vision lenses.
