Julian Beaumont 831

Julian Beaumont 831 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Julian Beaumont 831 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 55-17-140, in Matt Black, Matt Brown or Matt Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Julian Beaumont Collection.

Which colour is you?

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Matt Brown. Matt Brown is a soft, non-shiny brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Matt Gunmetal. Matt Gunmetal is easy to wear. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Julian Beaumont 831 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 127mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Julian Beaumont 831

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Julian Beaumont 831 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

Your questions, answered

Is the Julian Beaumont 831 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Julian Beaumont 831 for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a large frame?

Yes. With 55mm lenses it suits wider faces.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
