Freya Donna

Freya Donna Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Freya Donna is a unisex full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 53-16-140, in Brown, Burgundy or Grey. 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?

Brown. In Brown, the frame is olive brown. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

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

About the Freya Donna design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The fine metal arms keep the weight down and look neat from the side.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

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

Wearing it every day

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.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Freya Donna

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

• Progressive lenses for clear vision at every distance without swapping pairs.
• Single vision for one job done well: driving, reading or desk work.
• Bifocal if you like a clearly marked reading section.
• Ready readers when you only need help close up.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and 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

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Freya Donna and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Freya Donna?

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

Is the Freya Donna 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 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.

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.
