Paul Costelloe Sun 86 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 86 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 53-17-140, in Brown, Grey or Navy. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the Paul Costelloe Collection.

Choosing your Paul Costelloe Sun 86 colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Navy. Navy is a deep, dark blue. It is shown with grey lenses. 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.

About the Paul Costelloe Sun 86 design

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition.

The Paul Costelloe Sun 86 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.

How it fits

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

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 86

The Paul Costelloe Sun 86 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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

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.
