Paul Costelloe Sun 69 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 69 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 55-15-140, in Brown, Grey or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

Which colour is you?

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

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It goes with almost everything and never draws too much attention.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

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

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 69 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

Frame size and fit

At 55mm per lens, it is a generous size, a good pick if standard frames feel tight. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. 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.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 69

The Paul Costelloe Sun 69 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots of room. 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.

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.

From our lab to you

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 Sun 69 before sending them to you in Australia.

Keep them looking new

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.
