Julian Beaumont 899

Julian Beaumont 899 Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Julian Beaumont 899 is a unisex semi-rimless metal soft square frame, sized 53-17-135, in Blue, Purple or Red. 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?

Blue. The Blue version is navy. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Red. Red is a confident red. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

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.

Design details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Julian Beaumont 899 is a strong choice.

How to wear it

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.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm 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 899

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. 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.

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.

How your glasses are made

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 899 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.

FAQs

Can I get progressive lenses in the Julian Beaumont 899?

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

Can I wear the Julian Beaumont 899 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 53-17-135: 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm 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.
