Freya Sun 017

Freya Sun 017 Prescription Sunglasses

A cat-eye is one of the most flattering shapes you can wear. The Freya Sun 017 is a pair of unisex full-rim cat-eye sunglasses, sized 53-16-140, in Brown, Burgundy or Grey. It can be made with your prescription, so you can see clearly and keep the sun out at the same time. It is part of our Freya by Dunelm Collection.

Which colour is you?

Brown. The Brown version is brown tortoiseshell. It is shown with gradient lenses. It is softer than black and suits brown, auburn and red hair.

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Grey. The Grey version is grey tortoiseshell. It is shown with grey lenses. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

Design details

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift.

The Freya Sun 017 is an easy everyday pair of prescription sunglasses for driving, walking and weekends outdoors.

Styling tips

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

Size and fit

The 53mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 122mm.

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.

Prescription lenses for the Freya Sun 017

The Freya Sun 017 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 40mm 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.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

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 Sun 017 and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

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.
