Jacques Lamont 1308

Jacques Lamont 1308 Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Jacques Lamont 1308 is a women’s full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 52-15-135, in Blue or 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.

Blue or Purple?

Blue. The Blue version is navy. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. 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 Jacques Lamont 1308 is a strong choice. The Jacques Lamont 1308 is an easy frame to wear every day.

Wearing it every day

Pair it with simple gold or silver earrings and let the frame do the rest. If you wear your hair up, a frame like this can act as your main accessory.

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 1308

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

• 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.

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 Jacques Lamont 1308. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

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.
