Julian Beaumont 885

Julian Beaumont 885 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Julian Beaumont 885 is a unisex semi-rimless metal rectangular frame, sized 52-19-138, in Black/Purple, Black/Red or Pink / Burgundy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Julian Beaumont Collection.

Which colour is you?

Black/Purple. The Black/Purple version is black and purple. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Black/Red. In Black/Red, the frame is black and red. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Pink / Burgundy. The Pink / Burgundy version is burgundy and pink. It brightens the face and has a fresh, youthful feel.

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.

About the Julian Beaumont 885 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Julian Beaumont 885 is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 138mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 885

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 32mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

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

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 885 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.

FAQs

Is the Julian Beaumont 885 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 32mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I use the Julian Beaumont 885 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 52-19-138: 52mm lens width, 19mm bridge and 138mm arms, a medium fit.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
