The Silhouette Pure Wave 2955 Eyeglasses bring Austrian precision engineering to a modern rectangle frame that feels nearly weightless on your face. Built from Silhouette's proprietary SPX®+ material—a high-tech polyamide the brand developed in 1983—these full-rim frames deliver the kind of all-day comfort that makes you forget you're wearing glasses.
SPX®+ Material: Engineered for Comfort
SPX®+ isn't ordinary plastic. This advanced polymer composite is twice as strong as acetate while remaining remarkably light and flexible. The material is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin, and it holds its shape and color over years of daily wear. The matte finish you see in the photos diffuses light for a sophisticated, modern look that works in professional settings and casual environments alike.
The ultra-thin front design keeps the profile sleek without sacrificing durability. Silhouette's grooved lens glazing allows for this slim construction—the lenses sit securely in precision-cut channels rather than bulky bezels. The result is a clean, refined aesthetic that pairs well with any face shape.
Screwless Snap Hinge Technology
These frames use Silhouette's integrated snap hinge system—no screws to loosen or lose. The temples connect via a flexible SPX®+ rotor that clips into place, providing a secure fit that adjusts naturally to your head. This design eliminates the most common point of failure in traditional eyeglasses and makes the Pure Wave 2955 virtually maintenance-free.
Prescription-Ready for Your Vision Needs
The Pure Wave 2955 accepts single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and high-index prescription lenses. The full-rim construction provides excellent lens support, even for stronger prescriptions. Available in two sizes (53mm and 55mm lens width) and multiple colors including black, grey, blue, brown, petrol, and red, you can find a combination that fits your face and style.
Handcrafted in Austria since 1964, Silhouette has built a reputation for frames that prioritize comfort without compromising on design. The Pure Wave 2955 continues that tradition—a versatile, lightweight rectangle frame ready for your prescription lenses and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Silhouette Pure Wave 2955 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Pure Wave 2955 is fully compatible with prescription lenses including single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and high-index options. The full-rim design provides excellent lens support for all prescription strengths, and the frames can accommodate various lens materials including polycarbonate, Trivex, and high-index plastics.
What is SPX®+ material and why is it better than regular plastic?
SPX®+ is Silhouette's proprietary high-tech polyamide material developed in 1983. It's twice as strong as acetate while being ultra-lightweight and flexible. The material is hypoallergenic, holds its color over time, and allows for thinner frame designs without sacrificing durability. This makes the Pure Wave 2955 exceptionally comfortable for all-day wear.
How much do Silhouette Pure Wave 2955 eyeglasses weigh?
While the exact weight isn't specified for the 2955 model, Silhouette's SPX®+ full-rim frames are engineered to be ultra-lightweight—significantly lighter than traditional acetate frames of similar size. The combination of the thin front design and advanced polymer material creates a nearly weightless feel that reduces pressure on your nose and ears during extended wear.
Do these frames have screws that can loosen over time?
No, the Pure Wave 2955 uses Silhouette's screwless snap hinge technology. The temples connect via an integrated flexible hinge system that clips securely into place without any screws. This design eliminates the most common maintenance issue with eyeglasses and provides a durable, adjustment-free connection that lasts.
What size should I choose: 53mm or 55mm?
The 53mm lens width (with 140mm temples) fits small to medium faces, while the 55mm lens width (with 145mm temples) suits medium to larger faces. Both sizes have a 16mm bridge width. If your current glasses are 52-54mm, choose the 53mm; if they're 54-56mm, the 55mm will likely fit better. The rectangle shape works well for round, oval, and heart-shaped faces.
Are Silhouette eyeglasses good for people with sensitive skin?
Yes, the SPX®+ material used in the Pure Wave 2955 is hypoallergenic and ideal for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. Silhouette designs their frames specifically to be gentle on the skin while maintaining durability and flexibility. Many customers with nickel allergies or skin sensitivities choose Silhouette for this reason.

Silhouette Pure Wave 2955 vs. SPX Illusion Collection
If you're considering the Pure Wave 2955, you might also be looking at Silhouette's SPX Illusion collection—both feature the brand's advanced SPX®+ material and screwless snap hinge technology. Here's how they compare.
Pure Wave 2955: Modern Minimalism
The Pure Wave 2955 represents Silhouette's latest design direction with an ultra-thin front and balanced proportions. The matte finish and fresh color palette (including petrol, grey loden, and maroon linen) give it a contemporary, sophisticated look. At $272.64, it sits in the mid-range of Silhouette's full-rim offerings. The rectangle shape is versatile and works well for professional and casual settings.
SPX Illusion 1604 & 1603: Established Favorites
The SPX Illusion Fullrim 1604 ($208.64–$334.60) and 1603 ($168.75–$341.73) offer similar SPX®+ construction with proven designs that have been customer favorites for years. These frames may have slightly different proportions and color treatments—some feature gradient effects or tri-colored tortoise patterns. The Illusion collection emphasizes bold, fashion-forward aesthetics.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose the Pure Wave 2955 if you want Silhouette's newest design language with the thinnest possible front and a refined, minimalist aesthetic. The matte finishes and modern color palette make it ideal for professionals who want understated sophistication.
Choose the SPX Illusion 1604 or 1603 if you prefer a more established design with potentially bolder color options and don't mind exploring different frame shapes. The Illusion collection offers more variety in styling, and the lower starting prices may appeal if you're budget-conscious.
Both collections deliver the same core benefits: ultra-lightweight SPX®+ material, screwless durability, hypoallergenic construction, and full prescription compatibility. You can't go wrong with either—it comes down to which design aesthetic speaks to you.
