Freya Faye

Freya Faye Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Freya Faye is a unisex full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-135, in Blue, 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 Faye colour

Blue. The Blue version is blue and black. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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

Purple. In Purple, the frame is purple and black. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Freya Faye is a strong choice.

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.

Frame size and fit

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Faye

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• 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. 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.

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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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

Keep them looking new

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 Faye?

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

Can I use the Freya Faye 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 53-16-135: 53mm 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.

Who glazes my lenses?

Our own optical lab in the UK. Your lenses are made to your prescription and fitted into the frame before your glasses are sent to you.
