Freya Lydia

Freya Lydia Prescription Glasses

If you like structure but not sharp angles, a soft square is the sweet spot. The Freya Lydia is a unisex semi-rimless soft square frame, sized 54-16-138, in Brown, Burgundy or Teal. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Choosing your Freya Lydia colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

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

Teal. Teal is a blue-green teal. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

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.

The details

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The frame runs along the top of the lenses only, so the lower edge is open and your view stays clear.

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

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Frame size and fit

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 138mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 Lydia

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

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many progressive lenses. Prefer to keep things slim? Choose a high-index lens, which is thinner and lighter than standard. Then add an anti-reflective coating to cut glare from headlights and screens.

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.

How your glasses are made

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 Lydia and sends the finished pair 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.

Your questions, answered

Can I get progressive lenses in the Freya Lydia?

Yes. The 36mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Freya Lydia 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 54-16-138: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 138mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
