Paul Costelloe Sun 80

Paul Costelloe Sun 80 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Paul Costelloe Sun 80 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 54-16-145, in Autumn Leaf, Black or Brown Mottle. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Which colour is you?

Autumn Leaf. Autumn Leaf is a good everyday shade. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

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

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 80 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

Styling tips

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 80

The Paul Costelloe Sun 80 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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.

The 38mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty 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.

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

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Paul Costelloe Sun 80 and sends the finished pair 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.
