Paul Costelloe Sun 82 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 is a pair of unisex full-rim round sunglasses, sized 49-20-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Navy. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 82 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Navy. In Navy, the frame is blue. It is shown with grey lenses. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

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

The details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Styling tips

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

Frame size and fit

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 140mm arms are a standard length. 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.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 82

The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

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.

How your glasses are made

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Paul Costelloe Sun 82 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
