Silhouette Glasses Biography
Never a fan of contact lenses, but needing full-time corrective lenses, I’ve always been picky about my glasses. Until now though, I hadn’t spent the money to get a high-quality pair. I was uncertain about the flexible-frame style of the Sihouette frames, but I have come to quite like them.
The first things one notices about Sihouette frames is the lack of rims around the lenses (on my model, at least), and more strikingly, the flexible material the frames are made from. The entire frame, including the bridge between lenses and the arms, is flexible enough to be twisted 180 degrees in any directly.
Twisting glasses like that is not something that’s easy for anyone used to putting on a pair of slightly bent frames. This was actually my primary concern about the Silhouettes - I worried that a frame so flexible would never quite sit right on your face. This is not the case at all. These frames are as comfortable, probably more so, than any other pair of frames I’ve owned before. Since they have flexibility, they always sit the same on your ears and nose, even if they’ve had some twisting and bending.
One aspect of the flexible frames that is a bit of a drawback compared to rigid frames is that you can’t easily put the frames on or take them off with one hand. Since the frames bend, if you try to take them off with one hand, you’ll end up pulling them half-off your face while the other half hangs on your other ear. This shows how well they stay on, but means you need both hands to remove them.
Another related drawback is that the frames can’t be folded up like most glasses. When set on a flat surface, the frames return to a half-folded position, but can’t stay completely folded. They do come with a cases that will hold them folded, but you can’t really fold them up and stick them in a shirt pocket. I thought both this and the previous issue would bother me, but it hasn’t been a problem at all.
I was attracted to the rimless frames because they have a simple appearance and I assumed they would be less visible in my own peripheral vision. This didn’t turn out to be the case. The edges of the lenses are just as visible to the wearer as the edges of solid frames are. Rather than a black frame around the edges of my vision, I see a white frame - no worse, but no better as I had hoped.
The lack of rims also has the side-effect of leaving nowhere to hold the glasses when cleaning the lenses, but that is a minor annoyance. I was also told by my vendor that the one key stress-point is the drill-holes where the frames attach to the lenses. Apparently in the newer versions of the frames, which I have, breaking of the lenses from this point has been alleviated.
In general, I am pleased with the frames. They are comfortable and have a light and simple appearance (obscuring as little of my natural beauty as possible). Though they were quite expensive, given that they last for several years (spreading out the expense), and last better than traditional frames due to their flexibility, I would consider them again for my next glasses.
