Paul Costelloe Sun 85 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 51-19-140, in Black, Blue or Burgundy. 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.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 85 colour

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.

Blue. The Blue version is navy. It is shown with grey lenses. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

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

Shape and style

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

The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 51mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 85

The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. 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.

How your glasses are made

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 85 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.
