Paul Costelloe Sun 86 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 86 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 53-17-140, in Brown, Grey or Navy. 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.

3 colours to choose from

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 is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is shown with grey lenses. 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

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

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 86 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 86

The Paul Costelloe Sun 86 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.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Paul Costelloe Sun 86 and then sends your glasses 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.
