Paul Costelloe 5234 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Paul Costelloe 5234 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-145, in Brown, Gunmetal or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Which colour is you?

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

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Paul Costelloe 5234 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

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 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. 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 5234

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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. 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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

Made for you in our UK lab

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 5234 before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
