Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel

Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel is a unisex full-rim stainless steel cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-135, in Brown, Grey or Lilac. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Julian Beaumont Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

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 898 Stainless Steel is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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.

Size and fit

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 898 Stainless Steel

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

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

Made for you in our UK lab

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.
