Freya Angela

Freya Angela Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Freya Angela is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 54-16-135, in Black, Burgundy or Purple. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Choosing your Freya Angela colour

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. Black suits every hair colour and frames the face with confidence.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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 Freya Angela design

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Freya Angela is easy to live with.

How to wear it

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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.

Lens options for the Freya Angela

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 38mm 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

How your glasses are made

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Freya Angela. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Freya Angela?

Yes. The 38mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Freya Angela as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance, or varifocals if you also need distance vision, both work well for desk work.

What size is it?

It is size 54-16-135: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
