The Latest Spring Collection from Tom Ford as arrived.15/02/2021

Tom Ford has long been a style icon who continues to lead and mould the mood of the
moment. A potent vision of modernity and glamorous allure can be seen in all
his creations and products, which feature an innovative and provocative design,
attention to detail and exclusive materials and workmanship.

The brand’s core values are reflected in the
eyewear collection: Made in Italy, with a painstaking attention to detail and
high quality products. The sunglasses and spectacles merge together both vintage and contemporary
influences. All the styles are rendered instantly recognizable by the elegant
metal “T” detail, the undisputed icon of the brand.

Among the most iconic and desired styles we can
count the Whitney, the Jennifer, the Cary, the Leo and the sunglasses worn by
James Bond in the 007 Saga Movies (Models include Marko, Snowdon and Henry)

Amy Clorley writes on her experience of Glyn Jones Opticians

 Since the coronavirus pandemic initially began only a few months ago, I have found myself weary

about attending appointments that were in fact necessary. With the
unprecedented times still at the forefront of our society, I personally opted
not to acknowledge the headaches I was experiencing due to my own fears about
the crisis affecting the entirety of our world. After finally accepting the
fact that seeing a doctor was essential, I attended an appointment but
unfortunately was met with no luck. With the headaches continuing, my mum and I
instantly turned to Glyn Jones opticians.

Immediately, I was given an appointment to see an optician the exact same day by an unbelievably
helpful member of staff. Upon arrival only a few hours later, my initial worries
surrounding COVID were disowned as I swiftly noticed the depth of precautions
that were put into place. From the station informing patients to wait for a
member of staff to let them in outside to the PPE visible upon everyone in the
building, every guideline was clearly taken into account.

Despite the safety measures put into place, the entire appointment I underwent felt very thorough
and secure. Ian Hamilton, the excellent optician who was attending to me, gave
me a new prescription which has since certainly helped with the eye strain I
was once possessing.

Initially, I was considering coming back another day to choose a pair of glasses when the
provisions eased but seeing the highest safety measures in place, I felt
perfectly comfortable trying on different frames to find the ones most suitable
for me. Without even asking, an incredibly helpful member of staff by the name
of Neil Huxley promptly reached out to help me with my decision. Recognising
the style I liked, he picked out several pairs of Tom Ford glasses consisting
of different sizes and colours.

Every frame I tried
on only made me fall more in love with the Tom Ford brand as I soon found
myself in a situation where I couldn’t possibly choose which glasses I liked the
most. Understanding this, Neil immediately put forward a proposition
surrounding the company I already knew I wanted to get my frames from. Adam
Stevens, a representative for Tom Ford, would be coming in the following
afternoon to bring in the latest collection for the upcoming seasons. After a
call to Adam, he was kindly more than willing to meet me and introduce me to
the beautiful new spectacles available.

The following day, I
was welcomed with an immense new number of frames that Adam had picked out
based on the style’s id picked out the previous day which I found very hard to
choose between. Both Adam and Neil were there guiding me through my choice as
other members of staff also voiced their input proving once again how patient
and helpful the workers at Glyn Jones truly are.

Finally, after much consideration, I chose a pair that many also announced their liking for which I

came to collect the following weekend. Since, my eyesight has improved
dramatically and has certainly helped me in my new role as a college student
with a pair of frames I couldn’t possibly love more.

I cannot thank the staff at Glyn Jones enough for being persistently incredible even despite
recent events as well as Adam for taking the time to help me choose the right
glasses for me. I would recommend Glyn Jones opticians to anyone wanting to
receive an experience consistently at the highest standard with every member of
staff always willing to help.

Eco friendly spectacles 26/08/2020

Glyn Jones Opticians cares about the environment and we have
introduced a collection ECO Conscious frames  that are fashionable and highly
wearable. The perfected material selections offer doses of bold, on-trend
colour, while considered fashion features include a custom
leaf-inspired logo, subtly placed within the tip plates to add a
designer-infused reminder of the collections’ eco credentials.

No harmful substances are
used in the production of bio-based acetates, with even factory water being
fully recycled. A completely renewable and sustainable alternative to regular
acetate, bio-based acetate is non-toxic and retains the premium colours and textures

of standard acetates.

For this collection the manufactures Eyespace have partnered with the charity ‘One Tree
Planted’, a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping reforestation in the
fight against climate change. For every frame purchased, Eyespace have
committed to plant trees, with an initial target of 10,000.
