Paul Costelloe 5215

Paul Costelloe 5215 Prescription Glasses

A clean rectangular frame works at the office, at home and everywhere in between. The Paul Costelloe 5215 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 53-17-140, in Brown, Grey 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 5215 colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

Navy. The Navy version is striped navy. 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.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

Layered stripes of colour give the frame movement and a natural, horn-like depth. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Paul Costelloe 5215 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

How to wear it

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

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5215

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Paul Costelloe 5215 and then sends your glasses 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.
