The Troy White Collection by Enzo

We had just checked into our Airbnb apartment after a long train ride from northern Italy to Sorrento. After arriving and getting settled, we realized that it was late, and we were all hungry for dinner. We asked our host where we could get reservations at the last minute. He said, “I will check at the restaurant where I work and call you back if we can seat you.” Three minutes later he called back with the good news, “We have room for you now. It’s a 2-minute walk.” We were seated and ready to order within five minutes.

As we were leaving the restaurant, I looked across the small pedestrian alley and noticed hundreds of eyeglass frames displayed in an optical shop. After a lifetime in eye care, of course, I had to go check it out. As we entered the simple, small optical shop I was amazed at the unique styles and materials of the frames.

I was greeted by the owner’s sister who explained in detail how her brother, Enzo, hand-made all the frames in the shop. It was about that time that an energetic, middle-aged man came into the shop. His dazzling smile was made more intriguing by his cleanly shaved head.

He greeted me with the warmest of Italian greetings “Ciao!” and then settled in to explain how he had mastered his craft over the years.

He showed me the first frames I have ever seen made of buffalo horn as well as frames made from volcanic stone from nearby Mt. Vesuvius, the famous mountain that towers over the ancient city of Pompeii. My first thought was that they must weigh a ton but to my amazement, the volcanic stone provided a sturdy yet lightweight material.

He showed me several beautiful wooden frames polished to highlight their natural grains. After that, he led me to a display packed with bright and colorful, funky frames.

Every one of these frames is patiently and lovingly handmade by Enzo and his staff.
After this delightful tour of his shop and lab, he offered to bring Italian craftsmanship to Chattanooga with an exclusive line of frames for my new office. We dubbed them the “Troy White Collection” and they feature a unique collection of hand-crafted frames. I still can’t believe how I stumbled upon this amazing opportunity to offer our patients “eye jewelry” to add to their personal story with a unique style.

I hope you enjoy this collection of frames as much as I enjoyed curating them for you. Come in and try them on and you will see and feel the difference.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your New Eyewear

  • Start wearing your new glasses immediately
  • Wear your new glasses continuously unless prescribed for special use only
  • Wear your glasses as close to your face as possible – poor fit can change the prescription
  • Clean them regularly with proper solutions and cloths to keep the surface free of debris and smudges
  • Progressive Lens Wearers: Point your nose at reading material and adjust your chin to bring reading materials into sharpest focus
