Tom Ford
Tom Ford eyewear is Hollywood glamour in a frame — bold, confident shapes with the unmistakable metal T at the temple.
Made in Italy in luxe acetates and metals and cut like evening wear. For the wearer who wants their glasses to do some of the talking.

What is the T on Tom Ford glasses?
The house's signature hallmark — a metal T set into the temple by hand over several finishing steps. It is both a design signature and a quick authenticity cue.
Can I put prescription lenses in Tom Ford frames?

Optik partners with trusted specialist optical laboratories for lens manufacturing, while our team manages the measurements, lens selection, frame assessment and final quality check.

Can I try Tom Ford glasses on before buying in Johannesburg?
Yes — that is rather the point. The Tom Ford collection at OPTIK, Melrose Arch (Shop SL24, next door to Woolworths) is there to be picked up and worn: the weight of the acetate, the set of the temple, how a bold shape sits on your face. Our team fits every pair in person, and an eye test can be booked for the same visit.
Are Tom Ford glasses worth the price?
They are made in Italy by Marcolin under licence, with hand-finished hardware — the metal T alone passes through several finishing steps — and acetates a clear tier above mass designer eyewear. Fitted properly and cared for, a pair holds its shape and its look for years. Whether that is worth it is personal; coming in and handling one usually settles it.
