Jacques Lamont 1286

Jacques Lamont 1286 Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Jacques Lamont 1286 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 51-16-130, in Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Jacques Lamont collection.

The colour

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

About the Jacques Lamont 1286 design

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.

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Jacques Lamont 1286 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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 Jacques Lamont 1286

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

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 1286 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.
