How this catalogue is kept

What we re-check, how often, and what to do when a figure here argues with the one at the till.

The prices

The catalogue was last updated on September 3, 2026. Every price on this site comes from our own product data and is refreshed on a schedule rather than typed by hand. Prices move between updates, and the figure at the checkout is the one that counts: where the two disagree, the till wins.

A pair with no live offer is not shown at all. It leaves the shelf at the next update and comes back on its own when it is available again, so the count on a shelf page moves from one month to the next. The aluminium-magnesium wrap the brand once sold is in that state now, and it will reappear here the day it is on sale again.

The figures on the cards

Lens width and height, frame width, bridge and temple in millimetres, the frame material, the lens rating and the pack count are read out of our product data, never estimated. Where a figure is missing from a card, it is missing because we do not hold it; the children's frame, for instance, is sized by age band and carries a lens width only.

The photographs

Every frame is looked at beside the pair it claims to show before it goes up, and each card shows the pack shot of the exact colourway named on it. Most of the secondary frames the brand publishes are panels with slogans printed into the pixels, and none of those run here.

The sources

Where a page here makes a claim about the eye rather than about a frame, whether that is what ultraviolet light does over a lifetime, what a polarized lens does to a dashboard, or what the blue light from a screen does at all, the authority is named below with the date we read it, and the sentence on the page is the authority's rather than ours.

Corrections

Wrong figure, wrong photograph, wrong sentence: shade@bealer.org, with the page. We fix it and say what changed.
