Paul Costelloe Sun 82 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 is a pair of unisex full-rim round sunglasses, sized 49-20-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Navy. 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.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 82 colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It is shown with grey lenses. It is the safest choice if you only want one pair, and it never looks out of place.

Brown Mottle. Brown Mottle is a mottled brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Navy. The Navy version is blue. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

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 82 design

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

The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 20mm bridge is wider than average, which suits a broader nose bridge. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 118mm.

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 82

The Paul Costelloe Sun 82 can be made with any of these lens types:

• Varifocals if you want to see near and far without swapping glasses.
• Single vision for one task done well, such as driving, reading or screen work.
• Bifocals if you prefer a clearly defined reading area.
• Ready readers for straightforward close-up help.

The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses plenty of room. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 82 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

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.
