Freya Sun 006

Freya Sun 006 Prescription Sunglasses

Good sunglasses keep the glare out. Prescription ones let you see the view as well. The Freya Sun 006 is a pair of unisex semi-rimless cat-eye sunglasses, sized 52-16-135, in Black, Burgundy or Purple. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It belongs to the 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.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is shown with gradient lenses. It looks great with neutral outfits and a bold lip.

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

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

The details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

Keep the Freya Sun 006 in the car, take it to the beach or wear it on your lunch break; it is made for bright Australian days.

How to wear it

Keep a pair in the car and another in your bag and you will never squint at the glare again.

How it fits

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 006

The Freya Sun 006 can be made with any of these lens types:

• 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 38mm 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.

Ordering online is easier than you think

All you need is a current prescription from your optometrist and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Your PD is often written on your prescription; if it is not, ask your optometrist for it. Pick your colour, choose your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are not sure about sizing, compare the measurements above with a pair you already own. It only takes a minute and saves any guesswork.

From our lab to you

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Freya Sun 006 before sending them 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.

Questions we often get

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.
