Paul Costelloe 5244 Prescription Glasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The Paul Costelloe 5244 is a unisex full-rim aluminium round frame, sized 49-20-145, in Black Scratched, Gunmetal Scratched or Navy Scratched. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Black Scratched. Black Scratched is a good everyday shade. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Gunmetal Scratched. Gunmetal Scratched is a good everyday shade. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Navy Scratched. Navy Scratched is a good everyday shade. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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

Shape and style

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Aluminium is light and strong, and it gives the frame a crisp, modern finish.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Paul Costelloe 5244 an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

At 49mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5244

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots 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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

How your glasses are made

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Paul Costelloe 5244 before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
