Paul Costelloe 5234

Paul Costelloe 5234 Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Paul Costelloe 5234 is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 54-17-145, in Brown, Gunmetal or Navy. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Paul Costelloe Collection.

3 colours to choose from

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

Gunmetal. Gunmetal is a dark, smoky grey metal. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

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.

The details

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Paul Costelloe 5234 is easy to live with.

How to wear it

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

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.

Lens options for the Paul Costelloe 5234

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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 37mm 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.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Paul Costelloe 5234 and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

Keep them looking new

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.
