Eye exam
The eye exam at Maison Mata is carried out by qualified optometrists using an autorefractor, a digital chart and manual refraction. We check visual acuity at near and far distances, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
The goal is to obtain a precise and reliable measurement, perfectly adapted to your daily life in Bali (driving, screens, surfing, reading, night activities).
The exam lasts 15 to 25 minutes and is conducted in a simple and clear way: a few questions to understand your habits, several monocular and binocular tests, followed by a final comfort analysis. It is free, does not require any immediate purchase, and can be done regularly to monitor your vision over time.
Corrective Lenses & Prescription Services
After your eye exam, we produce corrective lenses adapted to myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Our single vision lenses are designed for immediate comfort, whether you work on a screen, read, or drive.
For presbyopia, we also offer progressive lenses, providing clear vision at all distances (near, intermediate, far) with a smooth transition between each visual zone.
Production time generally ranges from 30 minutes to 3 days depending on the prescription. We work with globally renowned lens manufacturers, Zeiss, Hoya, Essilor and Rodenstock, to ensure precise correction, optimal clarity and long-lasting quality. These partners allow us to offer thinner lenses, higher-end coatings and sharper vision, which is essential under Bali’s strong and ever-changing light.
Handmade Eyewear Crafted in Bali
At Maison Mata, part of our eyewear is made right here, in our in-store workshop. It all begins with a sheet of acetate, an idea, a sketch. The drawing becomes a shape, the shape becomes a frame. The edges are cut, the bevel is polished, and the surfaces are worked by hand until they feel smooth and develop a deep, natural shine. Nothing is standardized, each piece changes with the material, the gesture, and the eye of the craftsman.
A handmade frame takes an average of 15 days to complete, moving through several stages: cutting, shaping, calibration, adjustment, drilling, assembly and final polishing. We refine thickness, balance, temple curve and nose fit so that the frame is comfortable from the first minutes of wear. Every step can be observed directly in the boutique, customers don’t just see a finished product, they see the time, work and precision behind it, and the hands that created it.
Our handmade pieces are never identical. Acetate reacts differently from one color to another, a cut can vary subtly, and the final result depends on sanding and polishing, this is what gives each Maison Mata frame its character, never reproduced in exactly the same way. For those who want something personal, we can design a custom model: shape, width, thickness, bridge, temples, everything can be adapted to the face, the style and the wearer’s needs.
