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. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

Black/Gold or Black/Silver?

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

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

Still torn? Think about what you wear on an ordinary weekday, not on a night out. That is the colour you will be happiest with.

About the Paul Costelloe Sun 98 design

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 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.

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.

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 98

The Paul Costelloe Sun 98 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.

The 35mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. Want lighter lenses? A high-index lens is thinner than standard plastic. Pair it with an anti-reflective coating for less glare when you drive after dark.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 98 is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

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.
