Paul Costelloe Sun 97

Paul Costelloe Sun 97 Prescription Sunglasses

Square frames have a confident, modern look that works almost anywhere. The Paul Costelloe Sun 97 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 54-17-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Olive. 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.

Which colour is you?

Black. In Black, the frame is black and crystal. It is shown with grey lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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.

Olive. Olive is a muted green. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 97 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 97

The Paul Costelloe Sun 97 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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

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

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 Sun 97 before sending them to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
