Spectacular Spectacles

Matthews Eyewear Eyecare is paradise found when it comes to highly personalised optometry and a range of stunning top-quality spectacle frames, selected from designers around the world. This calm and airy oasis was based at the Riccarton Clinic before making the move to Riccarton Road.

Optometrists Shivan and Grace have a strong focus on eye health and each appointment is personalised, utilising specialised equipment to identify changes in vision and a range of eye diseases.

“We really take pride in finding the perfect frame for everyone and have a range of styles to suit every face shape and budget,” explains Karen who has been Practice Manager for 13 years.

All the spectacle lenses used are Zeiss, while frames are fashion-forward and new stock arrives constantly.

Brands include Masunaga from Japan, Parisian designs Caroline Abram and FACE A FACE, German Frost Eyewear and French trendsetters J.F. Rey.

A large selection of the iconic Maui Jim sunglasses are also stocked, which protect your eyes but bring brilliant colours to life and, of course, you can get your prescription fitted.

Karen and Optical Assistant Natasha also have access to extensive ranges held in the 16 other Matthews Optometry practices.

General Manager Miles says, “We are a New Zealand owned family business and it’s a vote of confidence in both our Christchurch team and our loyal patients to invest in our new Riccarton practice.

We have an exceptional team of talented people providing exceptional customer service and would encourage new patients to come in and experience the difference.”

Located near Church Corner, there is ample parking behind the clinic.
