Freya Sun 012

Freya Sun 012 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Freya Sun 012 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 53-16-140, in Black, Blue or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. You will find it in our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Which colour is you?

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

Blue. The Blue version is patterned navy. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a fresh alternative to black that still looks professional.

Purple. Purple is a rich purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

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

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

Keep the Freya Sun 012 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is ready for bright summer days.

How to wear it

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

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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 Freya Sun 012

The Freya Sun 012 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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 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.

What you will need

Have your prescription to hand before you start. It shows the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and sometimes your PD. If the PD is missing, your optician can give it to you. Then choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as thinner lenses or a coating. You can check everything in your basket before you pay.

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 Sun 012. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

A little care goes a long way

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.
