Beeton

Beeton Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Beeton is a women’s full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-135, in Brown, Grey or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Walter & Herbert range.

Choosing your Beeton colour

Brown. In Brown, the frame is brown-rose that fades to clear. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

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

Pink. The Pink version is pink that fades to clear. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

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

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Beeton is a strong choice. The Beeton is an easy frame to wear every day.

Wearing it every day

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

Size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Beeton

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

• 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.

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.

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 Beeton and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.

Questions we often get

What size is it?

It is size 53-16-135: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Can I use the Beeton as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.

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.
