Paul Costelloe Sun 109 Prescription Sunglasses

There is something friendly and approachable about a round frame. The Paul Costelloe Sun 109 is a pair of unisex full-rim round sunglasses, sized 50-19-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Burgundy 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.

3 colours to choose from

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with gradient lenses. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Burgundy Mottle. Burgundy Mottle is easy to wear. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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

About the Paul Costelloe Sun 109 design

Round frames soften angular features, so they are a great match for square and heart-shaped faces.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 109 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller 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 119mm.

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 109

The Paul Costelloe Sun 109 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

At 41mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so varifocal lenses have lots of room. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Paul Costelloe Sun 109. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.
