Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel

Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel Prescription Glasses

Rectangular frames are the dependable all-rounders of eyewear. The Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel is a unisex semi-rimless stainless steel rectangular frame, sized 53-17-140, in Black, Blue or Gunmetal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Julian Beaumont Collection.

Choosing your Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

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

Design details

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.

Stainless steel is strong, light and resistant to corrosion, so the frame keeps its finish over time.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm 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 896 Stainless Steel

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

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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.

From our lab to you

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 896 Stainless Steel and sends the finished pair 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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Julian Beaumont 896 Stainless Steel for driving?

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

What size is it?

It is size 53-17-140: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 140mm 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.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
