Freya Alice

Freya Alice Prescription Glasses

A good square frame is the white T-shirt of eyewear: simple, reliable and always in style. The Freya Alice is a unisex full-rim square frame, sized 54-18-145, in Aqua, Lilac or Sage. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Which colour is you?

Aqua. Aqua is a fresh blue-green. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Lilac. The Lilac version is translucent purple. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Sage. Sage is a good everyday shade. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

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

Shape and style

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

Tortoiseshell arms add warmth and a classic finishing touch. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

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

Wearing it every day

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 18mm bridge is average. The 145mm arms are on the longer side, which suits larger heads. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 126mm.

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 Alice

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

• 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 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

Every pair is made to order in our own UK lab. Your lenses are cut to your prescription, fitted into your Freya Alice and checked by our technicians before they are sent out.

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.

FAQs

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Freya Alice?

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.
