Julian Beaumont 882

Julian Beaumont 882 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Julian Beaumont 882 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-15-140, in Brown, Grey or Navy. 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?

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey. The Grey version is striped grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Navy. The Navy version is striped navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The striped finish adds texture that changes as the light catches it.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Julian Beaumont 882 is easy to live with. The Julian Beaumont 882 also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

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.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 140mm 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 882

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Julian Beaumont 882 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
