Here are some of the things you should consider before choosing the ideal Tom Ford glasses.
The frame material
The material used to design the frame should be among the first things you think about. Metal frames are durable and quite thin in terms of profile. This gives them a sleek appearance and that is why a lot of professionals prefer glasses made of metal frames. Another advantage of metal is that it can easily get back to its original shape in case you accidentally sit on it or place something heavy on it.
Plastic frames are lightweight but versatile enough to be used in creating a variety of designs. Glasses with plastic frames are quite sturdy which is why they are recommended for active people including sportsmen and children. Plastic also allows designers to use different colours and patterns during manufacturing.
There are also unique frames that can be designed using materials such as wood, horn and bones. Wood is eco-friendly and lightweight while animal bones and horns are unique and therefore extremely stylish.
The shape of the glasses
The shape of the Tom Ford glasses you pick can determine how good they look on you. Round face shapes often go well with aviators, square and rectangular glasses while oval-shaped faces tend to match with geometric, classic wayframe and browline glasses. Of course, there are many more face shapes to consider which is why you should take advantage of Vision Direct’s virtual try-on feature to ensure you get the perfect match for your face.
The size of the glasses
It is prudent to let an optometrist take accurate measurements of your head or face to ensure that the glasses you get are a perfect fit. In most cases, optometrists can determine the best length for the lenses, the bridge and the arms. They also determine the right distance between the two lenses depending on the distance between your two pupils. Glasses that are too small may cause discomfort while those that are too large may slip down your face and compromise cosmetics.
The colour of the glasses
Tom Ford glasses come in a variety of colours including black, white grey, blue, yellow, green and red. When getting glasses that can be used in the workplace, it is often recommended that you go for a single colour. Conservative colours such as silver, grey and black are recommended for men while brown, gold, silver and black may be ideal for women. If you are looking for glasses to wear casually, you have the freedom to go for just about any colour as long as it matches your outfit and style.
The wearer
There are specific glasses designed to suit different genders. To make it easy for you to identify the right glasses, Vision Direct has organized products under men’s glasses, women’s glasses and kids glasses. You can also find unisex glasses which can be worn by both men and women.
The lenses
There are different types of lenses that can be used to design glasses and understanding how each one works can be key to choosing the best.
● Aspheric lenses are characterised by a slim profile and tend to eliminate the bulbous bug-eyed look that other lenses have.
● Wavefront technology lenses are fabricated depending on the exact way light enters the eyes. They offer exceptional vision clarity.
● High-index lenses are often made of plastic material and can correct extreme vision problems.
● Photochromic lenses darken automatically in bright light and clear up as light intensity decreases. They are an excellent choice for protection against the sun’s UV rays.
● Polarized lenses are designed in such a way that they reduce reflective glare from flat, shiny surfaces such as water. They are also known for decreasing eye fatigue.
● Polycarbonate and trivex lenses are thin and quite lightweight which makes them a comfortable choice for just about anyone. They are extremely tough and that is why they are often recommended for active people and children.
