Hello.
"New York based Richard Walker, owner of eye wear company Blinde
Optics, created futuristic, one-of-a-kind metal frames for 'The
Matrix'. 'My goal,' says Walker, 30, 'was to create a rimless
collection with all the focus on the lens shape.' Walker was even
flown to the set in Australia to oversee the maintenance of the custom
sunglasses during the filming of the intense action sequences. The
styles that were designed by Walker for sale to the public will be
similar to those worn in the movie by Keanu Reeves (wraparound),
Laurence Fishburne (bridge clip) and Carrie-Anne Moss (aviator).
Blinde Design is now offering their hand made models exclusive in the
Sunglass Hut cahin, starting at USD160 a pair."

"These glasses were designed by Richard Walker of Blinde Optics in
Orlando, Florida. Unfortunately, the sunglasses are not on sale to the
public, but producton has begun... there are several companies that
sell glasses that are identical models to the ones used in 'The
Matrix'. "
