At The Spectacle Factory, Eyewear of the Week is all about celebrating frames that combine exceptional design with advanced lens technology. This week we’re showcasing the beautifully crafted Matsuda M1032 in Crystal Grey — and this particular pair belongs to one of our very own opticians.

The Crystal Grey finish offers a sophisticated yet understated look. The translucent acetate allows light to subtly pass through the frame, creating depth and character without being overpowering. It’s elegant, modern and versatile, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. As with all Matsuda frames, the craftsmanship is immediately noticeable. The M1032 reflects the brand’s reputation for precision manufacturing, refined detailing and timeless design.

For the lenses, this pair has been customised with Hoya Nulux Truform, a premium single vision lens designed to deliver exceptionally sharp and natural vision. Nulux Truform lenses are individually optimised to reduce distortions across the lens surface, helping to provide a more comfortable and accurate visual experience.

These lenses were also produced in a high index material to accommodate a strong -8 prescription, ensuring the lenses remain thinner, lighter and more aesthetically pleasing despite the higher power. High index lenses are ideal for stronger prescriptions as they reduce bulk while maintaining excellent optical performance.

To add both practicality and style, the lenses feature Sensity 2 Blue photochromic technology. This treatment allows the lenses to automatically darken outdoors and return to clear indoors. The Sensity 2 Blue option offers a particularly striking natural navy/indigo tone, creating a subtle but distinctive blue appearance when exposed to sunlight.

The lenses are also finished with High Merio coating, one of the top anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings available. This premium coating helps minimise reflections, improves clarity and provides excellent durability against everyday wear and tear.

This customised Matsuda M1032 is a great example of how exceptional frame design and advanced lens technology can come together to create truly personalised eyewear. And when one of our own opticians chooses a frame like this, it’s a great indication of the quality, craftsmanship and performance that goes into every pair we create at The Spectacle Factory.
