Silhouette Urban Fusion Fullrim 2904
Eyeglasses Unisex

I just flushed $800 down the toilet twice with this frame. I was looking for a lightweight frame similar to Swissflex and my optician recommended the Silhouette 2904 full frame. I paid $800 for this frame and prescription but just after 2 months the nose pad metal attachment just broke off from the lower frame. I thought maybe I wasn't careful with it. So I ordered the identical Silhouette 2904 full frame with new prescription glasses from Frames Direct, again paying almost $800 for the second pair. They did a good job with the prescription. These were almost $800 pair of glasses. Unfortunately just within one week from the slightest bump to the temple the metal nose piece attachment broke off from the exact same spot as the previous pair. There is obviously a design defect with these frames. They seems to weld the wire pieces together and it is just a cold weld with no strength. These are a $300 of glasses with $500 lens are now completely worthless. Never again will I ever consider buying any product from Silhouette. I am going to stick with Swissflex which are featherlight and virtually indestructible. Moreover, you can purchase any frame part of the need arises.

It was time to get a new spectacle and my wife who always chose frames for me instantly picked this one (black and gold). It felt so light for a full rimmed frame - lighter than my older Silhouette half rim. I tried it on and though the 52-17-140 was a better fit went for 54-18-145 as this as it was the same specification as my older one. After getting the lenses fitted I tried it on and it was slipping out!! The technician adjusted it a bit but it still is a loose fit. the sides sit on my ear lobe than the place where ear joins the head and is not snug to the sides of my face. The hinges are the culprits. The sweeping design of the hinges makes them stand further than the end of the frame. Bent them a bit to make them sit So make sure you try or get the smaller size than the usual if you get online.

Really love these frames....so light and comfortable.... thank you!!

The most comfortable glasses ever! I got polycarbonate lenses and they are the most light weight glasses I have ever worn...
