Paul Costelloe Sun 80 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Paul Costelloe Sun 80 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 54-16-145, in Autumn Leaf, Black or Brown Mottle. 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.

Which colour is you?

Autumn Leaf. Autumn Leaf is easy to wear. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It defines the eyes and goes with every outfit you own.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

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.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 80 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

Easy to wear with almost anything, from beachwear to a smart jacket.

Size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 80

The Paul Costelloe Sun 80 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 38mm 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.

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

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 80 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

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.
