Tom Ford glasses in Rochester Hills: styles, fit and what to expect on price
The T on the temple is the most recognizable mark in eyewear right now. Here is what Tom Ford frames actually do well, and how to find yours.
Tom Ford is the frame people point to across the boutique. The gold T on the temple has become shorthand for a certain kind of polish: bold but not loud, dressed-up without trying. 20/20 Vision is an authorized Tom Ford retailer in Rochester Hills, and here is what to know before you come try them on.
What the line does well
Tom Ford's optical frames favor strong, confident shapes: thick acetates, squared silhouettes, the signature "Blue Block" filter available in many optical styles, and the metal T at each hinge. The acetate is thick-cut and hand-finished, the hinges are solid, and the shapes flatter a wide range of faces because they're designed around real proportions rather than trends. The sun line runs from oversized glamour to clean aviators, most available polarized.
The famous ones
A few styles come up by name: the chunky squared opticals in dark havana and black that photograph so well; cat-eye opticals that read professional in a meeting and sharp at dinner; and the aviator and soft-square sunglasses that have been all over film and television. Stock rotates by season; if you're after a specific model, call and we'll check the wall or order it.
Fit, honestly
Tom Ford frames tend to run bold, and bold needs fitting. The right size sits with your eyes near the lens centers and the top line following your brow. Our opticians will tell you straight whether a shape works on your face and then heat-adjust the fit until it disappears on your nose. That's the difference between wearing the frame and the frame wearing you. More on choosing shapes.
Price and insurance
Expect designer-tier pricing, typically a few hundred dollars for the frame, with lenses on top depending on your prescription and coatings. Your vision plan's frame allowance applies, so you pay the difference above it; many patients land closer to mid-range out of pocket than they expected. FSA and HSA funds work too. We'll quote the exact number before anything is ordered.
Real vs fake
Tom Ford is one of the most counterfeited names online. Authorized retailers are the only guarantee of authentic frames and a valid manufacturer warranty; buying from us also means the lenses are cut and fitted properly.
