Paul Costelloe Sun 100

Paul Costelloe Sun 100 Prescription Sunglasses

Upswept corners have a way of lifting the whole face. The Paul Costelloe Sun 100 is a pair of unisex full-rim stainless steel cat-eye sunglasses, sized 51-17-140, in Blonde, Grey or Pink. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 100 colour

Blonde. Blonde is easy to wear. It is easy to wear and suits most outfits.

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

Pink. In Pink, the frame is silver and pink. It is shown with grey lenses. It brightens the face and has a fresh, youthful feel.

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

Why you will like it

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Stainless steel is strong, light and resistant to corrosion, so the frame keeps its finish over time.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 100 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

How to wear it

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

Size and fit

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 100

The Paul Costelloe Sun 100 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 39mm 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.

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.

From our lab to you

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 Sun 100 and sends the finished pair 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.
