Julian Beaumont 859

Julian Beaumont 859 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Julian Beaumont 859 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-17-135, in Black/Silver, Gold or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Julian Beaumont Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black/Silver. Black/Silver pairs black with silver. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It gives a polished, classic finish that never looks loud.

Pink. The Pink version is rose. It brightens the face and has a fresh, youthful feel.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Julian Beaumont 859 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Julian Beaumont 859

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 33mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Julian Beaumont 859 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

Is the Julian Beaumont 859 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 33mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Is the Julian Beaumont 859 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-135: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Who glazes my lenses?
