Paul Costelloe Sun 96 Prescription Sunglasses

Sunglasses are so much better when you can actually see through them. The Paul Costelloe Sun 96 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 53-17-140, in Matt Black, Matt Brown Mottle or Matt 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 96 colour

Matt Black. Matt Black is a soft, non-shiny black. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Matt Brown Mottle. Matt Brown Mottle is a soft, mottled brown. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Matt Navy. Matt Navy is a soft, non-shiny navy. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 96 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

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.

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 96

The Paul Costelloe Sun 96 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 35mm 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.

From our lab to you

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 96 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

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.
