DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Silhouette The Wave Chassis Rimless 5567 Eyeglasses deliver the Austrian brand's signature minimalist design in a prescription-ready titanium frame that practically disappears when you wear it. Part of The Wave collection—inspired by the carefree feeling of being on the water with the horizon ahead—these rimless frames combine geometric lens shapes with ultra-lightweight titanium temples in a range of finishes from classic silver and gold to modern rose and blue tones.

Screwless Titanium Construction

Silhouette pioneered rimless eyewear engineering, and the 5567 chassis showcases why. The frame uses a screwless hinge system that eliminates the loosening and maintenance issues common in traditional rimless designs. Titanium temples are hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant, and flexible enough to adapt to your face without pressure points. The lenses mount directly to the bridge and temples through precision-drilled points—a design that requires no rim to obstruct your field of vision.

Because the lenses are the frame, material choice matters. Trivex is the gold standard for rimless glasses: it resists cracking around drill points better than any other lens material and offers superior optical clarity. Polycarbonate works too and costs less, though it's slightly more prone to stress fractures over time. Either material will handle your prescription and keep the frame light.

The Chassis Advantage

Silhouette sells many rimless models as a chassis—the temples and bridge without pre-cut lenses. This lets you choose your lens shape when you add your prescription, rather than being locked into a single style. The 5567 is available in 100 size and color combinations, with bridge widths from 15mm to 21mm and temple lengths from 135mm to 150mm. Adjustable nose pads let an optician dial in the fit.

Customers consistently mention two things: the weight (or lack of it) and the durability. Rimless frames have a reputation for being delicate, but Silhouette's titanium construction holds up. The screwless hinges don't loosen. The temples flex without breaking. If you've worn heavy acetate frames or metal frames that dig into your nose, the difference is immediate.

These frames are prescription-ready for single vision, progressives, and readers. Progressive wearers should choose a lens shape with adequate vertical height—shallow rimless styles can limit your reading corridor. For stronger prescriptions, high-index lenses (1.67 or 1.74) will keep edge thickness manageable, though the exposed lens edges mean thickness is more visible than in a full-rim frame.

The Wave collection is unisex and works across face shapes. The geometric and cat-eye lens shapes available in the 5567 chassis suit angular and round faces alike. Silhouette includes a branded case, though many owners replace it quickly—the magnetic closure is weak and the case opens easily in a bag.

PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Silhouette Wave Chassis 5567 is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, progressive, and reading lenses. Because this is sold as a chassis (temples and bridge only), your optician will cut lenses to your prescription and preferred shape. For rimless frames, Trivex or polycarbonate lens materials are strongly recommended for durability around the drill-mount points.

What does 'chassis' mean for Silhouette eyeglasses?

A chassis is the frame's temple arms and bridge without pre-cut lenses. When you order prescription lenses, your optician selects the lens shape and size that works best for your prescription and face. This system gives you more flexibility than pre-mounted demo lenses, and it's how Silhouette offers 100+ size and color combinations in the 5567 model.

What lens material is best for rimless frames?

Trivex is the top choice for rimless eyeglasses because it has superior tensile strength and resists cracking around drilled mounting points better than any other material. It also offers excellent optical clarity. Polycarbonate is a budget-friendly alternative that's still durable and impact-resistant, though it has slightly lower optical quality and higher risk of stress fractures over time. Standard plastic (CR-39) and glass are not recommended for rimless frames.

How much do Silhouette rimless eyeglasses weigh?

Silhouette rimless titanium frames typically weigh only a few grams—some models as light as 2 grams for the frame alone. The Wave 5567 uses the same ultra-lightweight titanium construction. Customers consistently describe the feeling as barely-there, with no pressure on the nose or ears even after all-day wear. Final weight depends on your lens material and prescription strength.

Do Silhouette rimless frames break easily?

No. While rimless frames look delicate, Silhouette's screwless titanium construction is highly durable. The titanium is flexible and corrosion-resistant, and the screwless hinges eliminate the loosening issues common in other rimless designs. The main vulnerability is at the lens drill points, which is why choosing Trivex or polycarbonate lens material is critical. Customers report years of daily wear without breakage when the frames are paired with appropriate lenses.

Can I use these frames for progressive lenses?

Yes, the Silhouette Wave 5567 works well with progressive lenses, but lens shape matters. Choose a lens shape with adequate vertical height (the distance from top to bottom of the lens) to ensure a comfortable reading corridor. Shallow or very small lens shapes can limit progressive performance. Your optician can help select the right lens dimensions when fitting your prescription.

Silhouette The Wave 5567 vs. The Icon II vs. Lite Spirit: Which Rimless Frame Is Right for You?

All three models use Silhouette's signature screwless titanium construction and chassis system, so you're getting the same ultra-lightweight, hypoallergenic, prescription-ready platform. The differences come down to styling, price, and how minimal you want to go.

The Wave 5567: Modern Style, Maximum Variety

The Wave 5567 is the best choice if you want contemporary rimless eyewear with personality. It offers 100 size and color combinations, including gradient temple finishes and on-trend colors like lavender, rose, and blue. The geometric and cat-eye lens shapes available in this chassis are more fashion-forward than Silhouette's classic models. At $234–$288, it's also the most affordable of the three. Choose The Wave if you want rimless frames that feel current, not invisible.

The Icon II 5541: The Lightest, Most Iconic Option

The Icon II (Titan Minimal Art) is Silhouette's most famous frame—screwless, hingeless, and weighing around 2 grams. It's been worn on space missions and by customers for decades. If you want the absolute pinnacle of minimalist eyewear and don't mind paying $262–$433, this is it. The tradeoff: fewer color options and a more conservative look. The Icon II is for purists who want eyewear that disappears completely.

Lite Spirit 5566: The Middle Ground

The Lite Spirit 5566 sits between The Wave and The Icon II in terms of styling. It's priced similarly to The Wave ($264.62) and uses the same chassis system, but with fewer size and color variants. If The Wave's gradient finishes feel too bold and The Icon II feels too plain, the Lite Spirit might be your Goldilocks option. That said, The Wave's 100 combinations give you more flexibility to find the perfect fit and finish.

Our take: For most customers, The Wave 5567 offers the best combination of modern styling, size variety, and value. If you want the lightest, most iconic Silhouette frame and budget isn't a concern, go with The Icon II. The Lite Spirit is a solid alternative if The Wave's specific colors don't work for you, but it doesn't offer a compelling reason to choose it over The Wave at the same price point.
