Paul Costelloe Sun 95

Paul Costelloe Sun 95 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Paul Costelloe Sun 95 is a pair of unisex full-rim round sunglasses, sized 52-18-140, in Amber, Burgundy or Lilac. 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.

Which colour is you?

Amber. Amber keeps things simple. It is shown with gradient lenses. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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 95 design

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

The Paul Costelloe Sun 95 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.

Size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 18mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 95

The Paul Costelloe Sun 95 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 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. 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.

How your glasses are made

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 95 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.

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.
