Jacques Lamont 1306

Jacques Lamont 1306 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Jacques Lamont 1306 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 52-17-130, in Blue, Burgundy or Grape. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Jacques Lamont collection.

Which colour is you?

Blue. Blue is a clear, easy-to-wear blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark hair.

Grape. The Grape version is grape purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

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

The Jacques Lamont 1306 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 Jacques Lamont 1306

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Jacques Lamont 1306 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Looking after them

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.
