DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Tom Ford 5696B Blue Light Blocking Eyeglasses combine Italian luxury with practical screen protection for men who spend hours in front of digital devices. This full-rim rectangular frame is built from premium cellulose acetate—the same plant-based material Tom Ford uses across its luxury eyewear collection—and features the brand's signature metal 'T' logo at the temples. Available in four sophisticated finishes and two sizes (54mm and 56mm), the 5696B is prescription-ready and ships with blue light filtering lenses already installed.

Blue Light Protection for Digital Life

The integrated blue light blocking lenses filter blue-violet wavelengths emitted by smartphones, computers, tablets, and LED lighting. If you work long hours at a screen or scroll before bed, these lenses are designed to reduce the visual discomfort that comes with extended digital exposure. The filtering technology is built into clear polycarbonate lenses, so there's no heavy yellow tint—just a subtle reduction in the high-energy visible light that can contribute to eye fatigue.

Tom Ford's Blue Block collection treats the lenses to target the specific wavelengths most associated with digital eye strain, while still allowing beneficial light through. You can add your prescription to these frames, making them a practical everyday solution rather than a separate pair you'll forget to wear.

Italian Acetate Construction & Fit

Acetate isn't just marketing speak—it's a genuinely better material than injection-molded plastic. Tom Ford sources cellulose acetate sheets, cuts and forms them by hand, then polishes the frames to a smooth finish. The result is a frame that's lightweight enough for all-day wear but durable enough to handle daily use without going brittle or losing its shape. The material is also hypoallergenic, so it won't irritate sensitive skin the way some cheaper plastics can.

The rectangular shape works well for round and oval faces, adding definition without looking overly aggressive. The 54mm lens width suits small to medium faces, while the 56mm option fits medium to large. Both sizes feature a 16mm bridge and 145mm temples. The full-rim design keeps your prescription lenses secure, and the metal hinges are built to last.

Four Color Options

The 5696B is offered in shiny black (001), shiny gradient havana-to-grey front with havana temples (056), shiny transparent blue (090), and shiny classic dark havana (052). The gradient havana and transparent blue options show off acetate's ability to hold rich, multi-tonal colors that you won't find in basic plastic frames. Each pair ships with a Tom Ford case and cleaning cloth.

These frames are made in Italy and carry the quality you'd expect from a brand that's been setting the standard in luxury eyewear since 2005. Whether you're upgrading from drugstore blue light glasses or adding a second pair to your rotation, the 5696B delivers Tom Ford design at a price point that's accessible for prescription eyewear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add my prescription to the Tom Ford 5696B blue light blocking eyeglasses?

Yes, the Tom Ford 5696B is fully prescription-ready. The frames come with blue light filtering demo lenses that can be replaced with your prescription lenses (single vision, progressive, or readers) while maintaining the blue light protection. Most optical labs can add blue light coating to your prescription lenses, or you can wear the frames with standard prescription lenses if you prefer.

What face shapes work best with the Tom Ford 5696B rectangular frames?

Rectangular frames like the 5696B are most flattering on round and oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and contrast to softer facial curves. The frame is available in two sizes: 54mm lens width for small to medium faces, and 56mm for medium to large faces. Both sizes feature a 16mm bridge and 145mm temples.

How do Tom Ford blue light blocking lenses work?

Tom Ford's Blue Block lenses are treated to filter blue-violet light wavelengths emitted by digital devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. The lenses reduce exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) light that can cause visual discomfort and eye fatigue during extended screen time. The filtering is built into clear lenses, so there's minimal color distortion compared to heavily tinted blue light glasses.

What is acetate and why is it better than regular plastic for eyeglass frames?

Acetate is a plant-based material made from cellulose (cotton or wood pulp) that's cut, formed, and polished into eyeglass frames. It's more durable and flexible than injection-molded plastic, can withstand daily wear without breaking, and is lightweight and hypoallergenic. Acetate also holds richer colors and patterns better than standard plastic, which is why premium brands like Tom Ford use it exclusively.

Are Tom Ford eyeglasses made in Italy?

Yes, Tom Ford eyeglasses including the 5696B are manufactured in Italy. The frames are crafted using premium cellulose acetate and feature the brand's signature metal 'T' logo. Each pair ships with an authentic Tom Ford case, velvet pouch, and microfiber cleaning cloth as part of the Italian manufacturing standard.

What's the difference between the Tom Ford 5696B and 5537B blue light eyeglasses?

Both models feature Tom Ford's blue light filtering technology and Italian acetate construction, but the 5696B has a rectangular shape designed for men, while the 5537B features a larger square shape marketed toward women. The 5696B is available in 54mm and 56mm sizes, whereas the 5537B comes in a 52mm size. The 5537B also includes spring hinges for added flexibility. Pricing varies, with the 5537B starting at a lower entry point.

Tom Ford 5696B vs. Other Tom Ford Blue Light Eyeglasses

If you're shopping for Tom Ford blue light blocking eyeglasses, the 5696B competes directly with several other models in the collection. All share the same Italian craftsmanship, premium acetate construction, and blue light filtering technology, but they differ in frame shape, sizing, and target audience.

5696B vs. 5537B: Rectangular Men's vs. Square Women's

The Tom Ford 5537B is the women's counterpart to the 5696B, featuring a larger square lens shape instead of the 5696B's rectangular profile. Both start at the same $141.67 price point and include blue light filtering lenses, but the 5537B adds spring hinges for extra flexibility and comes in more fashion-forward colors like shiny pink and light brown. The trade-off? The 5537B is only available in a 52mm size, while the 5696B offers both 54mm and 56mm options for a wider fit range. If you prefer a bold, oversized square look and have a smaller face, the 5537B is worth considering. If you want a more versatile rectangular shape with size flexibility, the 5696B is the better choice.

5696B vs. 5542B: Comparing Men's Rectangular Options

The Tom Ford 5542B is another men's blue light model priced at $245.08-$245.68, making it slightly more expensive than the 5696B's $141.67-$235.18 range. Both feature the same blue light technology and Italian acetate construction, but the frame shapes differ. The 5542B may appeal to customers looking for a different aesthetic within the same quality tier. However, the 5696B offers more color variety with four distinct finishes, giving you more options to match your personal style.

5696B vs. 5479B: Mid-Range Alternative

The Tom Ford 5479B sits in the middle of the price spectrum at $214.62-$215.89. It delivers the same blue light protection and premium materials as the 5696B but in a different frame design. If the 5696B's rectangular shape doesn't suit your face or style, the 5479B is worth exploring as an alternative at a comparable price point.

Our recommendation: The 5696B offers the best combination of versatility, size options, and color variety in Tom Ford's men's blue light collection. The rectangular shape flatters more face types than square frames, and the two size options (54mm and 56mm) ensure a proper fit for small to large faces. At the entry price of $141.67, it's competitively priced with the 5537B while offering more practical sizing. If you want a classic, wearable Tom Ford blue light frame that works for daily office wear and casual use, the 5696B is the smart choice.
