Freya Sun 009

Freya Sun 009 Prescription Sunglasses

If you wear glasses, prescription sunglasses are the easiest upgrade you can make. The Freya Sun 009 is a pair of unisex full-rim rectangular sunglasses, sized 50-16-135, in Blue, Brown 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.

Choosing your Freya Sun 009 colour

Blue. In Blue, the frame is patterned blue. It is shown with gradient lenses. It brings a cool, calm touch of colour that suits most skin tones.

Brown. In Brown, the frame is brown tortoiseshell. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is a classic that looks relaxed and a little bit vintage.

Purple. In Purple, the frame is patterned purple. It is shown with grey lenses. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Shape and style

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear.

The Freya Sun 009 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

At 50mm per lens, it is on the smaller side, which is ideal if most frames feel too wide. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Prescription lenses for the Freya Sun 009

The Freya Sun 009 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 34mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive 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 Sun 009 and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Questions we often get

Can I get the Freya Sun 009 with my prescription?

Yes. Choose single vision, progressive, bifocal or ready reader lenses when you order.

Is the Freya Sun 009 suitable for progressive lenses?

The 34mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

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.
