Paul Costelloe Sun 85

Paul Costelloe Sun 85 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 51-19-140, in Black, Blue or Burgundy. 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.

3 colours to choose from

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

Blue. In Blue, the frame is navy. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is rich and confident, and it looks stunning with dark 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.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

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 19mm bridge is a little wider than average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 121mm.

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 85

The Paul Costelloe Sun 85 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. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 85 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

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.
