Paul Costelloe Sun 21 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 21 is a pair of unisex full-rim carbon fibre, stainless steel rectangular sunglasses, sized 56-17-140, in Black/Grey, Brown or Grey. 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 21 colour

Black/Grey. Black/Grey mixes black and grey. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

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 21 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

How to wear it

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

Size and fit

With 56mm lenses, this is a larger frame that suits wider faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 129mm.

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 21

The Paul Costelloe Sun 21 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

From our lab to you

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 21. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Keep them looking new

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.
