Is the Tom Ford FT1085 Mikel worth the price?

If you want a recognizable designer square frame that takes prescription lenses, yes. If you mainly want sun protection, a polarized sport or budget frame does the same job for far less.

How does the Mikel fit compared with other Tom Ford squares?

At 54 mm lenses and a 17 mm bridge it sits in the medium-to-large range. It is wider and bolder than slim Tom Ford rectangles, so try it on if you have a narrow face.

Can I put prescription lenses in these?

Yes. The frame accepts prescriptions from -7.00 to +7.00, and most opticians can cut lenses to the 54 mm eye size.

Are the lenses polarized?

No. They are Category 3 dark brown plastic lenses with UV protection but no polarization, so glare off water and roads is reduced only by the tint.

What comes in the box?

Tom Ford sunglasses normally ship with a branded hard case, cleaning cloth and authenticity card. Confirm the case is included when buying from a discounter.

When is the best time to buy?

Designer sunglasses see the deepest discounts at end of season and around major sales events. Watch the price history rather than buying at full retail.

Our take on the Tom Ford FT1085 MIKEL Square Shape Sunglasses

The Tom Ford FT1085 Mikel is a full-rim square frame in striped tortoise plastic with dark brown lenses. It carries Tom Ford's signature metal T on the temples and Category 3 UV protection, so it suits bright daylight and driving. The 54 mm lens and 17 mm bridge give a medium-to-large fit, and the frame takes prescription lenses from -7.00 to +7.00. Tom Ford eyewear is rarely discounted deeply, so any price well under the usual designer-retail figure is a good one.
