Paul Costelloe 5219

Paul Costelloe 5219 Prescription Glasses

A browline frame always looks a little bit clever. The Paul Costelloe 5219 is a unisex full-rim metal browline frame in Brown, Grey or Lilac. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Which colour is you?

Brown. The Brown version is brown tortoiseshell. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

Shape and style

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake. The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Paul Costelloe 5219 is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 135mm arms are a standard length.

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 5219

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 5219 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Paul Costelloe 5219?

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

Is the Paul Costelloe 5219 comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What is a browline frame?

A frame with a stronger top section that follows your eyebrows and a finer lower rim.

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.
