A bohemian, preppy look
Bold use of color
Graphic prints
Eclectic details
Timelessness and versatility

Tory Burch glasses
If you’re a fan of the brand’s all-American, bohemian-preppy style, consider Tory Burch designer frames for your prescription eyeglasses.
It may be helpful to have an eye care professional help you choose frames that are the right size and shape for your face and will be a good fit for your prescription — for example, if you have a strong prescription or need progressive lenses.
Tory Burch eyeglasses are available in a selection of frame shapes that include:
Cat-eye
Oval
Rectangle
Round
Square
You can get Tory Burch frames in plastic, metal and hypoallergenic materials, and they also come in a wide range of colors.
Once you’ve picked out your Tory Burch glasses frames, your eye care professional can help you select the right lenses. You’ll need to choose a material, such as polycarbonate or high-index plastic — which are thin and light but may cost more than some other lens materials.
Then you can decide on lens treatments, such as anti-scratch or anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering, UV protection or Transitions photochromic lenses that darken in sunlight.
