Freya Uma

Freya Uma Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Freya Uma is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-140, in Blue Two Tone, Burgundy Two Tone or Purple Two Tone. 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 Uma colour

Blue Two Tone. Blue Two Tone is easy to wear. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Burgundy Two Tone. Burgundy Two Tone keeps things simple. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Purple Two Tone. Purple Two Tone is a good everyday shade. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

About the Freya Uma design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Freya Uma 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.

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm 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 Uma

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 40mm 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.

From our lab to you

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

Keep them looking new

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.

Your questions, answered

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Freya Uma?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Freya Uma 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 53-16-140: 53mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

What does the colour fade look like?

The colour is darker at the top of the frame and becomes lighter towards the bottom.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and checked before they are sent out.
