Who are we?
BEAM by London is Trinidad & Tobago's first online optical store providing premium spectacle frames and prescription lenses. Our eyeglasses are all handmade and eco-friendly too!
How do I know what the right size is for me?
Here is a basic fit guide to get you started.
Eyesize – the width of each lens
Bridge size – the width of the bridge which fits across your nose
Temple length – the length of the temple which goes behind your ears
Understandably, it can be quite difficult to get a real feel of a frame until you have tried them on.
If you need any help or advice on frame fitting, send us a message and we can assist you in selecting the right frame. You can even send us a selfie and a brief bio and we can recommend the best shapes and styles for your face shape. Include information such as hobbies, lifestyle and your desired look so we can find the perfect frame.
Where are your frames made?
All of our frames are proudly made in China. Don’t be fooled, China has some of the best frame makers in the world and most of your big fashion brands (we won’t mention who!) also manufacture their spectacles in China. We have hand selected the finest craftsmanship and ensure we do not compromise on quality in any way. We promise to only use the finest eco-friendly materials for our frames and put each pair through a 3-step quality control check before approving. Head over to our laboratory to see how your frames are made. If you have any further questions about our manufacturing process, please feel free to contact us.

Why do I need to book an appointment?
We understand how difficult it can be to shop online, especially for eyewear and getting the perfect fit is important in finding the most comfortable frame. We can arrange for a qualified dispensing optician to visit you at your home or office to showcase the collection and help you find the perfect pair. We can also discuss your prescription and recommened the best lenses for you. Terms and conditions: For prescription lens orders, you must have a current valid prescription available from your optometrist.
Payment is taken in full on the day of your visit via credit card which must be authorised to make online payments. We do not accept cash or linx payments.

How do you deliver?
We only use special delivery using DHL (US), Royal Mail (UK) and TTPost (Trinidad and Tobago) to ensure your package arrives safely. Providing a contact number is vital so the courier can contact you if they have any trouble finding your address and exact location. Your delivery is also tracked, so you know exactly where it is and when it will arrive.
What is the pupil distance measurement?
Quite simply, the pupil distance is the distance in millimetres between the pupil centres of each eye. Your optometrist will usually provide this information to you with your prescription but if not, don't worry as it is easy to measure by yourself or with the help of a friend. Rest a millimetre ruler onto the bridge of your nose, look in the mirror or have a friend align the 0 mark at the centre of your right pupil. Measure the distance to the centre of your left pupil. Make sure you are have a steady focus and are atleast 50cm from your mirror or friend. Take the measurement 2-3 times to ensure it is accurate.
