Freya Alice

Freya Alice Prescription Glasses

Square frames add definition without trying too hard. 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, progressive 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 looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Lilac. In Lilac, the frame is translucent purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Sage. Sage is a good everyday shade. It feels fresh and a little bit different, which is exactly why people notice it.

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.

Why you will like it

Square lenses add structure to round and oval faces and make features look more defined. The translucent finish lets light through, so the frame looks lighter and softer than a solid colour.

The tortoiseshell arms pair nicely with the front and give the frame a relaxed feel. Slim metal arms keep the frame light and add a polished touch.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Freya Alice an easy pick for everyday wear.

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 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.

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.

Lens options for the Freya Alice

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

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Once you have picked your colour and lens type and entered your prescription and PD, our UK optical lab makes your lenses, fits them into your Freya Alice and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Wipe your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than the hem of your shirt, keep them in a case when they are in your bag, and never leave them on the dashboard on a hot day. Our lens care guide has a few more habits worth picking up.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Freya Alice?

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

Is the Freya Alice comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

It is size 54-18-145: 54mm lens width, 18mm bridge and 145mm arms, a medium fit.

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.
