Freya Molly

Freya Molly Prescription Glasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Freya Molly is a unisex full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-135, in Black, Red or Teal. 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.

Which colour is you?

Black. Black is a deep, solid black. It looks sharp at work and just as good with jeans at the weekend.

Red. Red is a confident red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

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.

Shape and style

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Freya Molly is easy to live with. The Freya Molly also makes a handy spare pair for the car or the office.

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.

Frame size and fit

At 52mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 120mm.

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 Molly

Your optometrist’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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.

At 42mm, the lens depth is deeper than most frames in our range, so progressive lenses have lots 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.

How your glasses are made

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

Yes. The 42mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Freya Molly for driving?

Yes. Single vision or progressive lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

What size is it?

It is size 52-16-135: 52mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 135mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

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.
