The Silhouette Urban LITE 1590 eyeglasses deliver Austrian engineering in a featherweight package. Built with Silhouette's proprietary SPX+ polymer fronts and sleek metal temples, these full-rim frames are significantly lighter than standard plastic eyeglasses—offering exceptionally lightweight comfort for all-day wear.
The rectangle lens shape offers a clean, modern look that works from the office to evening, while the full-rim construction provides secure lens retention and works beautifully with prescription lenses, including progressives and single vision. Available in multiple colors—from classic black with rose gold temples to violet and brown tones—each frame pairs a durable SPX front with complementary metal temples for a sophisticated two-tone finish.
SPX+ material is hypoallergenic, flexible, and resistant to warping, so the frames maintain their fit and shape over time. The integrated design eliminates screws at key stress points for enhanced durability. These frames are prescription-ready and ship with two size options (52mm and 54mm eye width) to fit a range of face shapes. Manufactured in Austria and backed by Silhouette's reputation for lightweight comfort, the Urban LITE 1590 is built for people who want a polished look without the weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Silhouette Urban LITE 1590 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Silhouette Urban LITE 1590 frames are fully prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, progressive, and digital lens designs. The full-rim construction provides secure lens mounting and works well with a variety of prescription strengths. Our licensed opticians can help you select the right lenses for your needs.
How much do Silhouette Urban LITE 1590 frames weigh?
The Urban LITE 1590 frames are exceptionally lightweight, weighing approximately 40% less than standard plastic frames. Made from Silhouette's proprietary SPX+ polymer material combined with metal temples, they're designed for all-day comfort without pressure points or nose fatigue. Most wearers report barely noticing they're wearing glasses.
What is SPX+ material and why is it used in Silhouette frames?
SPX+ is Silhouette's proprietary polyamide polymer, developed in Austria specifically for eyewear. It's lightweight, hypoallergenic, flexible, and resistant to stress and warping—making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. The material maintains excellent color retention and offers twice the durability of standard acetate while remaining exceptionally comfortable.
What sizes are available for the Silhouette Urban LITE 1590?
The Urban LITE 1590 is available in two sizes: 52-15-140 and 54-16-145. The first number is the lens width (52mm or 54mm), the second is the bridge width, and the third is the temple length. The 52mm size works well for small to medium faces, while the 54mm suits medium to larger faces.
Are Silhouette Urban LITE frames good for progressive lenses?
Yes, the Urban LITE 1590's rectangle shape and adequate lens height make them well-suited for progressive lenses. The full-rim design provides stable alignment and the frame's lightweight construction ensures comfort during extended wear. Silhouette frames are engineered to work seamlessly with progressive, bifocal, and single vision prescriptions.
How do I care for Silhouette Urban LITE SPX+ frames?
Clean your Urban LITE frames with lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or acetone-based cleaners. Store them in the included case when not in use. The SPX+ material is durable and flexible, but proper care extends their lifespan and maintains the finish on the metal temples.

Silhouette Urban LITE 1590 vs SPX Illusion Collection
If you're drawn to Silhouette's ultra-lightweight SPX+ frames, you're likely comparing the Urban LITE 1590 with models from the SPX Illusion collection. Both lines deliver exceptional comfort and Austrian craftsmanship, but they take different design approaches.
Urban LITE 1590: Refined Two-Tone Design
The Urban LITE 1590 pairs SPX+ fronts with metal temples (rose gold, brass, or rhodium finishes depending on color). This creates a sophisticated two-tone look that reads more formal and polished. The metal temples add a subtle weight that some wearers prefer for stability, while the SPX front keeps overall weight minimal. It's ideal if you want lightweight comfort with a professional, refined aesthetic.
SPX Illusion (1603, 1604, 1605): All-SPX Flexibility
The SPX Illusion models feature all-SPX+ construction—no metal components. This makes them even lighter and offers more shape variety (square, round, butterfly, panto). The Illusion line emphasizes vibrant colors with hand-applied gradient effects and tri-color tortoise options. Fully adjustable temples and integrated nose pads allow for a highly customized fit. These frames lean more casual and contemporary.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose the Urban LITE 1590 if you prefer a polished, professional look with metal accents and a classic rectangle shape. The two-tone design offers more visual interest and works well in business settings.
Choose the SPX Illusion collection if you want the absolute lightest option, prefer bold color effects, or need a specific shape (like round or butterfly) that the Urban LITE doesn't offer. The all-SPX construction is ideal for people with metal sensitivities or those who prioritize maximum flexibility.
Both collections are prescription-ready, hypoallergenic, and built to Silhouette's exacting Austrian standards. You really can't go wrong—it comes down to whether you prefer the Urban LITE's refined metal accents or the Illusion's all-polymer versatility.
