Experience the Art of Minimalism with Silhouette Eyewear
At Adelaide City Optometrist, we’re proud to introduce
Silhouette Eyewear – the world-renowned brand famous for its innovative rimless design, feather-light feel, and timeless aesthetic. Whether you’re seeking subtle sophistication or precision-engineered comfort, Silhouette frames redefine how eyewear can look and feel.
Since its founding in Austria in 1964, Silhouette has become a pioneer in the world of premium eyewear, crafting each pair with meticulous attention to detail and revolutionary design principles. Their commitment to quality, paired with cutting-edge technology, has earned them a reputation as the go-to brand for those who value both style and substance.
Why Silhouette? The Benefits of a Rimless Design
One of the defining features of Silhouette is its rimless eyewear, which is not only lightweight but virtually invisible on the face – letting your personality, not your frames, shine through.
1. Ultra-Lightweight Comfortable
Silhouette frames weigh as little as 1.8 grams, making them some of the lightest glasses in the world. Crafted from high-tech titanium and SPX® + materials, they deliver exceptional comfort for all-day wear without pressure points or heaviness on the nose or ears.
2. Minimalist, Timeless Aesthetic
The rimless design is a hallmark of refined taste. It creates a clean, barely-there look, perfect for professionals or anyone who appreciates subtle elegance. Whether you’re in the boardroom or at brunch, Silhouette frames adapt to every occasion.
3. Individually Tailored Fit
Each Silhouette frame can be customised to your face shape and lifestyle. From lens shape to temple length and colour options, this eyewear is truly made to fit you – not the other way around.
A Global Favourite – Trusted by Icons
Silhouette Eyewear isn’t just loved in Adelaide – it’s worn around the world, including the astronauts and royals. The brand famously accompanied NASA astronauts into space, thanks to its durability and ultralight construction. It’s also a favourite of Queen Elizabeth II, highlighting its blend of classic elegance and modern innovation.
Handcrafted in Austria: Where Technology Meets Tradition
Each Silhouette frame is handcrafted in Linz, Austria using state-of-the-art production methods and eco-friendly practices. Their manufacturing process combines precision engineering with over 260 meticulous steps – ensuring the highest standard of quality, durability, and comfort.
With over 90% of production done by hand, Silhouette Eyewear stands apart in a world of mass-produced frames. Every detail is thoughtfully executed, giving you eyewear that not only looks exceptional but lasts for years.

Silhouette is ideal for:
- Professionals who want sleek, stylish frames without distraction
- Minimalists who love clean, refined aesthetics
- Glasses wearers with sensitive skin or pressure points who need a lightweight, hypoallergenic option
