Freya Sophia

Freya Sophia Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Freya Sophia is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 54-16-135, in Purple, Red or Turquoise. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It is part of our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Choosing your Freya Sophia colour

Purple. The Purple version is purple that fades to pink. It works beautifully with navy, grey and silver jewellery.

Red. In Red, the frame is translucent red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Turquoise. The Turquoise version is turquoise that fades to purple. It pairs well with neutrals, denim and earthy colours.

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

Because the colour is see-through, the frame has a light, glowing look.

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

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.

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

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 Sophia

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 39mm 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.

Made for you in our UK lab

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

Keep them looking new

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 Sophia?

Yes. The 39mm lens depth gives progressive lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Can I wear the Freya Sophia 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 54-16-135: 54mm 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.

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?
