NYC's Largest Luxury Eyewear Collection

Matsuda

Tokyo · Est. 1967

Founded by Mitsuhiro Matsuda, each frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Japan through over 250 meticulous steps by a small cadre of master artisans. Drawing from Art Deco, Gothic architecture, and industrial metalwork, Matsuda creates eyewear that is as much art object as optical instrument — with signature engraved hinges, hand-polished surfaces, and vintage-inspired silhouettes refined for modern wear.

Inside Visionary Optics showroom with extensive eyewear collection and ZEISS lens equipment

Why Matsuda at Visionary Optics?

Matsuda frames are handcrafted in Sabae, Japan from pure titanium, sterling silver, 18k gold, and acetate sculpted from cotton-derived plastic. Each frame requires up to 250 production steps and reflects over 50 years of Japanese eyewear craftsmanship.

Visionary Optics carries one of the most complete Matsuda selections in New York City, with over 100 styles in stock across our three locations. Our opticians will help you find the frame that fits your face and your style, then pair it with ZEISS precision lenses for crystal-clear vision.

Prefer to try before you buy? Visit any of our three locations for an in-person fitting. Many frames are available for same-day pickup with ZEISS single vision lenses.

What makes Matsuda eyewear special?

Matsuda frames are handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, the world center of luxury eyewear manufacturing. Each frame requires up to 250 production steps and as many as 13 skilled craftsmen to complete, with finishes in titanium, sterling silver, or 18k gold and acetate sculpted from cotton-derived plastic cured over several months. The result is eyewear built more like jewelry than mass-produced accessories.

Where are Matsuda glasses made?

Every Matsuda frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, the city widely regarded as the heart of premium eyewear manufacturing. Sabae craftsmen have refined their techniques over generations, and Matsuda frames are produced in small batches by master artisans rather than assembled in volume.

Who designed the sunglasses in Terminator 2?

The iconic sunglasses Linda Hamilton wore as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) were designed by Mitsuhiro Matsuda. The look became one of the most recognizable eyewear moments in cinema history and remains closely associated with the Matsuda brand today.

How much do Matsuda glasses cost?

Matsuda frames typically range from approximately $700 to $2,500, with most models priced under $1,000. Acetate and standard titanium frames make up the heart of the collection at more accessible price points, while models featuring sterling silver, gold plating, or solid 18k gold details command higher prices that reflect the materials and craftsmanship involved.

Are Matsuda frames worth the price?

Matsuda frames are built using techniques and materials that put them in a different category than mass-produced eyewear. With up to 250 production steps per frame, premium materials such as Japanese titanium and 18k gold, and construction designed to last decades, Matsuda eyewear is intended as a long-term investment rather than a seasonal purchase. Customers who buy Matsuda often own the same frame for ten or twenty years.

What is Matsuda's most popular model?

Among Matsuda's best-selling models over the past several years are the M1018, M2052, and M3140 — refined silhouettes that work for daily wear. Several other models from the M2000-series optical line and the M3100/M3140-series sunglasses are also customer favorites. The right model depends on face shape, lifestyle, and personal style.

Where can I buy Matsuda eyewear in NYC?

Visionary Optics is an authorized Matsuda retailer with three New York City locations: Upper East Side (1409 3rd Avenue), Chelsea (173 7th Avenue), and Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (315 Court Street). We stock over 100 Matsuda styles, every frame is 100% authentic, and our opticians can guide you through the differences between models. We also fit Matsuda optical frames with ZEISS prescription lenses, most ready the same day. We also ship nationwide, with or without prescription lenses, so you can order from anywhere in the United States.
