Paul Costelloe Sun 99

Paul Costelloe Sun 99 Prescription Sunglasses

Browline glasses draw attention up to your brows and leave the rest of the face open and light. The Paul Costelloe Sun 99 is a pair of unisex full-rim browline sunglasses, sized 52-17-135, in Brown, 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.

3 colours to choose from

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. 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.

Shape and style

The stronger top line suits round, oval and heart-shaped faces, and it can make you look more awake.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 99 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

Styling tips

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

Size and fit

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.

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 99

The Paul Costelloe Sun 99 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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. 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.

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 99 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.
