Paul Costelloe 5203

Paul Costelloe 5203 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Paul Costelloe 5203 is a unisex full-rim round frame, sized 49-20-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe 5203 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Navy. The Navy version is patterned blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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.

Design details

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same.

The Paul Costelloe 5203 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

Size and fit

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. 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.

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.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5203

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 5203 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Paul Costelloe 5203?

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

Is the Paul Costelloe 5203 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.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a wider nose bridge?

Yes. The 20mm bridge is wider than most frames.

Where are my lenses made?
