Do the lenses darken in sunlight?

Yes. They are photochromic, so they darken outdoors and lighten indoors. They are category 3 when dark, which suits bright days but not extreme glare.

Are these sunglasses polarized?

No. They block UV but do not cut glare the way polarized lenses do, so they are a weaker choice for driving or time on the water.

Will they fit a wide face?

They are built as a wide fit with a high bridge and 50 mm lenses. That suits broader faces; narrow faces may find them loose.

What comes in the box?

The frame comes with a branded Tom Ford glass case. No cleaning cloth or spare parts are listed.

How do they compare with other Tom Ford acetate frames?

The Ilias is wider and bolder than slimmer Tom Ford styles, and its photochromic lenses are the main functional difference. Choose it for the shape and the adaptive tint.
