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.

👓 It’s Silmo time again! 👓

Every year in Paris, the global eyewear community gathers for Silmo Paris — the stage where new collections debut, bold ideas are revealed, and craftsmanship takes center stage.

These photos from past Silmo events remind us what makes this gathering so special for Matthews:
✔ Seeing tomorrow’s eyewear trends before they reach NZ
✔ Connecting with designers and innovators shaping the industry
✔ Celebrating creativity and excellence in eyewear
✔ Strengthening our global ties so we can continue bringing the best home to Aotearoa

Silmo continues to inspire us — reminding us why independence and innovation matter, and why we’re proud to be part of this international community.

🌟 March is Glaucoma Awareness Month! 🌟

Did you know that glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in Aotearoa NZ?

Glaucoma is a complicated disease which refers to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often without any early symptoms. If it’s not treated, glaucoma will lead to irreversible sight loss and even blindness. That’s why regular eye tests are so crucial! 🕶️✨

Don’t wait until it’s too late—make sure to schedule your eye test today at matthews.co.nz. Early detection can save your sight! Let’s spread the word and keep our eyes healthy together. 👁️💚

Visit glaucoma.org.nz for more information and support.
