Freya Uma

Freya Uma Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. 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, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Blue Two Tone. Blue Two Tone is a good everyday shade. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

Burgundy Two Tone. Burgundy Two Tone keeps things simple. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

Purple Two Tone. Purple Two Tone is easy to wear. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

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 soft colour fade defines the brow line and lets the lower half of the frame melt away.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Freya Uma an easy pick for everyday wear. For a frame you will reach for daily, the Freya Uma is a solid choice.

Styling tips

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.

Frame 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 Uma

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 Uma and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.

Questions we often get

Can I get progressive lenses in the Freya Uma?

Yes. The 40mm lens depth gives progressive 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 progressive lenses 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.

Who glazes my lenses?
