Paul Costelloe 5254

Paul Costelloe 5254 Prescription Glasses

Round frames soften the face in a way square ones just cannot. The Paul Costelloe 5254 is a unisex full-rim metal round frame, sized 47-22-150, in Black, Brown or Navy. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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

Shape and style

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Paul Costelloe 5254 is a strong choice. Thinking of a second pair? The Paul Costelloe 5254 works well as a backup.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 47mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 22mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 150mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 5254

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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.

At 43mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots 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.

How your glasses are made

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 5254 before sending them 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.
