Freya Alison

Freya Alison Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Freya Alison is a unisex full-rim metal soft square frame, sized 52-15-135, in Burgundy / Grey, Navy / Burgundy or Navy / Purple. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. You will find it in our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

3 colours to choose from

Burgundy / Grey. Burgundy / Grey mixes burgundy and grey. It is a great match for cooler skin tones and a crisp, tidy look.

Navy / Burgundy. Navy / Burgundy mixes navy and burgundy. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Navy / Purple. In Navy / Purple, the frame is purple and navy. It looks great with blue or grey eyes and pairs easily with denim and white.

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 softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Freya Alison an easy pick for everyday wear. Thinking of a second pair? The Freya Alison works well as a backup.

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 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 119mm.

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 Alison

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• 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 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. 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

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 Alison and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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

Can I get progressive lenses in the Freya Alison?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I use the Freya Alison 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 52-15-135: 52mm lens width, 15mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 15mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Who glazes my lenses?
