Paul Costelloe 5233 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Paul Costelloe 5233 is a unisex full-rim rectangular frame, sized 54-17-140, in Black or Olive. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe 5233 colour

Black. The Black version is black that fades to crystal. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Olive. The Olive version is olive green. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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.

About the Paul Costelloe 5233 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. The colour fades from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, which gives the frame depth and keeps it from looking heavy.

The crystal finish is clear and fresh, and it lets your features take centre stage.

The Paul Costelloe 5233 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

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.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5233

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Paul Costelloe 5233 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
