Burberry BE1398 Cat Eye Eyeglasses
On orders over Dhs 500
Most of our frames are “one size,” designed to fit a wide range of faces. A few styles come in multiple sizes. Use your current glasses as the best reference, or follow the quick steps below.
1) How to read frame size (on your glasses)
Look inside the temple (arm). You’ll see numbers like: 52□18–140
-
52 = Lens width (mm)
-
18 = Bridge width (mm)
-
140 = Temple length (mm)
Match these to the new frame for the most reliable fit.
2) Quick fit by face width (no glasses handy?)
Use a ruler (millimeters) across your face at the pupils, or try the “credit-card test” (a card is ~54 mm wide).
| Face width | Typical lens width | Typical bridge | Temple length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow | 48–51 mm | 15–18 mm | 135–140 mm |
| Medium | 52–54 mm | 16–19 mm | 140–145 mm |
| Wide | 55–57 mm | 17–21 mm | 145–150 mm |
Tip: Sunglasses often run 1–2 mm larger than optical frames for a comfortable, slightly looser fit.
3) One-size frames—how to choose
-
Compare the listed size to your current frame stamp (e.g., if you wear 52□18–140, look for something close: 51–53 lens, 17–19 bridge, 140–145 temple).
-
If between sizes, pick slightly larger for sunglasses and closer match for optical.
-
Small adjustments (nose pads, temple bend) by an optician can fine-tune the fit.
4) What each number changes
-
Lens width: overall frame width/coverage.
-
Bridge: comfort on the nose; higher bridge = more space.
-
Temple length: behind-ear comfort; longer temples for larger heads or if temples feel tight/short.
5) Common size examples
-
Optical (unisex): 50–54 / 17–19 / 140–145
-
Sunglasses (unisex): 52–56 / 16–20 / 140–150
-
Smaller faces: start at lens width 48–50
-
Larger faces: look at 55–57
6) Still unsure?
-
Match your current frame numbers first.
-
Check our product photos on model notes (if available).
-
You can message us your current size (e.g., 52□18–140) and preferred fit (snug/standard/relaxed)—we’ll suggest options.

Who makes Burberry eyewear?
EssilorLuxottica, under licence since 2006. The agreement was extended from the end of 2025 through 31 December 2035. Frames are made in Italy.
How does the Burberry check appear on the frames?
Three ways: printed on the inside of an acetate temple, embossed into the acetate front, or set beneath a transparent layer. The first is the most discreet, the last the most visible.
What are the other Burberry design codes?
The Equestrian Knight motif and the TB monogram, both usually executed as metal temple hardware rather than pattern. They read as quieter alternatives to the check.
Do Burberry frames have model names?
Not really. Styles are named descriptively for their motif and shape — Check Square, Knight Metal Cat-eye, TB Square — and identified by a BE reference code inside the temple.
Can Burberry sunglasses be glazed to prescription?
Most can, and Burberry produces a full optical range. Our opticians will confirm the specific frame and prescription before ordering.
Are these frames authentic?
Yes. Burberry frames are sourced through authorised supply and arrive with their branded case, cloth and manufacturer documentation, with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
