Paul Costelloe Sun 98

Paul Costelloe Sun 98 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Paul Costelloe Sun 98 is a pair of unisex full-rim stainless steel square sunglasses, sized 51-18-145, in Black/Gold or Black/Silver. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 98 colour

Black/Gold. Black/Gold pairs black with gold. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Black/Silver. Black/Silver pairs black with silver. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

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

Why you will like it

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. Stainless steel is strong, light and resistant to corrosion, so the frame keeps its finish over time.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 98 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.

Frame size and fit

At 51mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 98

The Paul Costelloe Sun 98 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 35mm 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Paul Costelloe Sun 98 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
