Freya Wendy

Freya Wendy Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Freya Wendy is a unisex full-rim cat-eye frame, sized 52-16-135, in Brown 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.

Brown or Teal: which one is you?

Brown. The Brown version is brown tortoiseshell. It warms up the face and sits nicely alongside camel, olive and cream.

Teal. The Teal version is teal tortoiseshell. 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.

About the Freya Wendy design

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

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Freya Wendy is easy to live with.

Styling tips

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

Frame size and fit

The 52mm lenses make this a medium frame that suits most faces. 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 Wendy

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

• 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. 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 Wendy and sends the finished pair to you in Australia.

Looking after them

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.
