What defines Tom Ford eyewear?
Tom Ford launched his own house in 2005 after a decade steering Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, and eyewear was among the very first things he made. It shows. The frames have a director's sense of proportion — Ford has made films as well as clothes — favoring oversized squares, soft aviators and deep, dramatic cat-eyes cut from thick, glossy acetate in Havana, black and smoky translucents. Gold-tone hardware is used with intent, and the signature is the metal T at the hinge, a small detail that reads clearly across a room.
Beneath the drama the construction is meticulous: sturdy hinges, hand-polished fronts, and lenses in cinematic gradients or Ford's smoke and brown tones.
Who wears Tom Ford well?
Tom Ford rewards a bit of confidence. Medium-to-wide faces carry the oversized acetates without effort; if your face is narrower, the house makes slimmer optical shapes and lighter metals with the same T-bar detail, so you get the signature without the scale. Men gravitate to the squared, heavy-browed opticals and the aviator sunglasses; women to the cat-eyes and the round-square hybrids that soften a strong jaw.
- Oversized acetate squares — the definitive Tom Ford look; best on medium-to-wide faces
- Cat-eye and butterfly sunglasses — lift the face; suit oval, round and heart shapes
- Slim metals with the T hinge — the quiet option; suit narrower faces and lighter prescriptions
Can I get prescription lenses in Tom Ford frames?
Yes. Every Tom Ford optical frame is made up with your prescription — single vision, progressive or occupational — and many of the sunglasses accept prescription sun lenses, polarized if you like. One honest note: a large lens plus a strong prescription means more edge thickness, so on the oversized styles we'll recommend a high-index material and, where it helps, a lens design that trims the edge. Bring a current prescription, or schedule an exam with Dr. Michele L. Domiano, O.D., at either office.
How does Domiano fit a Tom Ford frame?
Heavy acetate demands a precise fit. Our frame specialists in Old Forge and Clarks Summit set the bridge and temples so the weight sits evenly, check that the frame clears the cheeks and brow, and take pupillary distance and fitting heights so the optical center lands where it should in a large lens. Anti-reflective coating is close to essential on lenses this size; we'll explain why. You're welcome back for adjustments once the frame has settled in.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Domiano Eye Care carry Tom Ford glasses?
- Yes. We carry Tom Ford optical frames and sunglasses at both our Old Forge and Clarks Summit boutiques. Styles rotate as new collections arrive, so call ahead if you're looking for a particular frame and we'll check current stock.
- Can Tom Ford sunglasses be made in my prescription?
- Many can. The classic squares, aviators and cat-eyes usually take prescription sun lenses well; some oversized and shield styles have limits with stronger prescriptions. Our opticians confirm before you order and will recommend high-index lenses where the size calls for it.
- Are Tom Ford glasses worth it?
- If you want a frame with real presence and finish that holds up, Tom Ford earns its reputation. That said, the frame is only half the equation — the fit and the lenses matter as much — and if a different frame would suit your face or prescription better, we'll tell you.

- Yes. Tom Ford's women's line includes optical frames and sunglasses in oversized squares, cat-eyes, butterfly shapes and slimmer metals, all with the signature T detail. Both boutiques carry women's styles; call to check the current selection.
