Julian Beaumont 908

Julian Beaumont 908 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Julian Beaumont 908 is a unisex full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 54-16-140, in Black, Brown or Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Julian Beaumont Collection.

Which colour is you?

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

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Julian Beaumont 908 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 908

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

• 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 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

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 908 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

Can I get progressive lenses in the Julian Beaumont 908?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Julian Beaumont 908 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 54-16-140: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
