YAMEE Retro Round Clip-On Nose Sunglasses Matrix Morpheus Movie Rimless Clamp Glasses, 4 Colors

Product Information

As the captain of the resistance hovercraft Nebuchadnezzar , Morpheus is known for his cool stance and distinct look. Morpheus' round, pince-nez sunglasses have become as iconic as the character itself, inspiring countless Halloween costumes since the movie's first release. More than a cool prop, sunglasses bear a deeper symbolism in The Matrix trilogy . It is believed that they're only worn by characters that are "awake," or those who know the truth about the simulation. It is a fitting keepsake for Fishburne, as the accessory was custom built to fit the actor's face. As pince-nez frames are often very small, they tend to be universal for any head size. This also plays a role with face shapes as we’ll discuss in the next section. Although ThinOptics are designed to bend without breaking using new ultra-flexible titanium alloy, these reading glasses are guaranteed for life, which is a huge comfort.

Additionally, we suggest that you refer to our full face shape guide if you don’t yet know what your face shape is. Ideal Matches If you're a serious Matrix fan, or you just like Morpheus Simulator, then you'll definitely want to get yourself a pair of these sunglasses. Morpheus Simulator Sunglasses Specs: Neo, portrayed by Keanu Reeves, is the iconic protagonist of "The Matrix," and his sunglasses, often called "Neo sunglasses" or "Matrix sunglasses," hold iconic status for several reasons.

Neo's character exudes coolness and confidence, making the sunglasses a sought-after accessory for those who admire his style. They have also left a lasting mark on pop culture, becoming a recognisable symbol and emblematic of his character's enduring influence.

Finding the right glasses is never easy. Therefore, when searching for specialised glasses with a particular style, it can be much harder.

Today, pince-nez glasses are often associated with 19th Century intellectuals. After all, they were worn by writers such as Mark Twain and Anton Chekov as well as Theodore Roosevelt. However, they were made popular once again by both Laurence Fishburne who played Morpheus in The Matrix as well as David Suchet’s BBC interpretion of Hercule Poirot.

Even if they’re cheap, they can be replaced when damaged. Having playful dogs at home, it does offer some peace of mind! Given that they’re always with us, we won’t have to rashly buy a new pair every time we leave our normal glasses at home. ThinOptics Styling Pince-nez glasses are rarely rectangular. However, if they are, make sure that the corners are beveled and not too sharp. Additionally, the material is resilient, which means that they bend like springs without losing their strength over time. ThinOptics Convenience ThinOptics offers a wide variety of different colours. Therefore, refer to our guide to choosing glasses to see which would suit your skin tone best. When Teddy Shalon, founder and creator of ThinOptics, was helping out a friend read his phone when he had forgotten his reading glasses, he was inspired. And he wasn’t misguided either.

Customer reviews

However, we were particularly impressed by the offerings from ThinOptics. Walking the fine line between modern and retro, these were high quality pince-nez reading glasses that weren’t much more expensive that the others we tried. ThinOptics Pince Nez Reading Glasses Review Before we go any further, take note that pince-nez glasses are almost exclusively for reading. In fact, we weren’t able to find any prescription pince nez glasses. With their patented Flex-Fit technology, these frames are made with a nitinol bridge, a titanium alloy. This means they can fit to any nose size without any concerns for fitting. During those late nights gentlemen’s literature, we found that the ThinOptics were very comfortable for long wear. They perch nicely on the bridge of the nose without applying too much pressure yet still feel sturdy enough to not fall off. Probably the thinnest and most comfortable reading glasses we tried, we absolutely loved the concept of modernisation pince-nez glasses that had been around for centuries.
