The Tom Ford Achilles 1182 eyeglasses bring a bold, contemporary edge to prescription eyewear. This shield-style frame features a distinctive wraparound silhouette that delivers maximum coverage and a striking, fashion-forward look. Built from premium Italian acetate in a shiny black finish, the full-rim construction provides durability and stability for a wide range of prescription strengths.
The Achilles showcases Tom Ford's signature design language: the iconic gold-tone "T" logo adorns each temple, marking these frames as unmistakably luxury. At 138mm lens width with a 145mm temple length, this is a generously proportioned frame designed for medium to larger faces. The single-bridge design and shield shape create a seamless, modern aesthetic that stands out without overwhelming your features.
Prescription-Ready Luxury
These frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and blue-light blocking lenses. The full-rim acetate construction ensures your lenses stay secure, making the Achilles suitable for higher prescriptions. You can also opt for photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light conditions, transforming these eyeglasses into versatile all-day eyewear. The generous lens height accommodates progressive prescriptions comfortably.
Italian Craftsmanship & Materials
Made in Italy, the Achilles 1182 reflects Tom Ford's commitment to exceptional quality. The acetate frame is lightweight yet durable, offering all-day comfort without sacrificing strength. Tom Ford uses premium cellulose acetate that resists warping and maintains its finish over time. The shield shape isn't just about style—it provides excellent peripheral coverage, making these frames practical for both everyday wear and outdoor activities.
Who Should Wear Shield Frames?
Shield eyeglasses work best for individuals with defined cheekbones and strong jawlines—particularly those with square, heart, or oval face shapes. The dramatic lines of the Achilles complement angular features and add visual interest. If you're drawn to statement eyewear that balances bold design with wearable sophistication, these frames deliver. Available in multiple color combinations including shiny black with smoke lenses, shiny black with clear lenses, and photochromic options.

There should be an online return link on your website that allows customers to manage the return process and automatically generate a shipping code. In your current system, we have to send an email, wait for a response, and the code is still not generated immediately. You also ask for unnecessary information. For example, I was asked for an SKU#, which I didn’t even understand. I already provided my order number in my email, so I don’t understand why you need additional information or why the return process is being made more complicated. What I’m trying to say is that the return process feels unnecessarily difficult.
