Julian Beaumont 889

Julian Beaumont 889 Prescription Glasses

Rectangular glasses add a little structure to the face without any fuss. The Julian Beaumont 889 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 58-17-150, in Black, Brown Mottle or Navy. 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. Black is a deep, solid black. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Brown Mottle. The Brown Mottle version is mottled brown. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The mottled pattern has more depth than a flat colour, so the frame looks rich up close.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Julian Beaumont 889 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.

Frame size and fit

At 58mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 17mm bridge is average. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 133mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Julian Beaumont 889

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 38mm 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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Julian Beaumont 889 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Yes. With 58mm lenses it suits wider faces.

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.
