Paul Costelloe Sun 89

Paul Costelloe Sun 89 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Paul Costelloe Sun 89 is a pair of unisex full-rim titanium square sunglasses, sized 54-18-145, in Bronze / Black or Gold / Brown. 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.

Bronze / Black or Gold / Brown: which one is you?

Bronze / Black. Bronze / Black mixes bronze and black. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Gold / Brown. Gold / Brown pairs gold with brown. It is a warm, elegant choice that pairs nicely with earthy colours.

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

Shape and style

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A bar across the top of the bridge gives the frame a classic aviator touch and adds strength to the front.

Titanium is one of the lightest frame materials around, which makes it a great choice for all-day wear.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 89 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. 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 126mm.

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 89

The Paul Costelloe Sun 89 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 44mm, 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.

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 89. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.
