Paul Costelloe Sun 97 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Paul Costelloe Sun 97 is a pair of unisex full-rim square sunglasses, sized 54-17-140, in Black, Brown Mottle or Olive. 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.

3 colours to choose from

Black. In Black, the frame is black and crystal. It is shown with grey lenses. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

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

Olive. Olive is a muted green. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

About the Paul Costelloe Sun 97 design

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. A crystal front looks modern and light, and it goes with everything.

Keep the Paul Costelloe Sun 97 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 17mm bridge is average. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 125mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Prescription lenses for the Paul Costelloe Sun 97

The Paul Costelloe Sun 97 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 37mm 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.

How your glasses are made

Your Paul Costelloe Sun 97 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

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.
