Paul Costelloe 5247

Paul Costelloe 5247 Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Paul Costelloe 5247 is a unisex full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 52-17-135, in Brown, Grey or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe 5247 colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Paul Costelloe 5247 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 Paul Costelloe 5247

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

Made for you in our UK lab

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Paul Costelloe 5247 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Paul Costelloe 5247?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Paul Costelloe 5247 as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or progressive lenses if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

It is size 52-17-135: 52mm lens width, 17mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
