The Silhouette SPX Illusion 2960 Eyeglasses bring together Austrian engineering and a round frame shape that works for just about everyone. These prescription-ready frames are built from Silhouette's proprietary SPX®+ polymer composite—a hypoallergenic material that feels almost weightless on your face. The round shape (48mm lens width, 17mm bridge, 140mm temples) suits a range of face shapes, especially if you have angular features that benefit from softer curves.
SPX®+ Material: Lightweight and Built to Last
SPX®+ is Silhouette's answer to traditional plastic frames. It's a polyamide-based composite that's flexible, durable, and resistant to warping—so your frames keep their shape even after years of daily wear. The material is hypoallergenic, making it a smart choice if you have sensitive skin or reactions to metal frames. Customers consistently mention how light these frames feel; one reviewer noted they're "so lightweight" and comfortable for all-day wear.
The frames feature a screwless hinge design that's both sleek and durable. Each pair is hand-dipped to ensure consistent color across the entire frame, and the temple ends are finished with matte black tips. The full-rim construction provides solid lens security while maintaining that barely-there feel Silhouette is known for.
Who These Frames Are For
The 2960 is a unisex frame available in 10 colors—from classic black and translucent orange to rich browns and vibrant greens. Round frames like these flatter square, rectangular, and heart-shaped faces by softening strong jawlines and balancing wider foreheads. The 48mm lens width works well for small to medium faces. These frames are prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, or high-index lenses. The lightweight SPX®+ material is especially helpful if you have a strong prescription, since it offsets the weight of thicker lenses.
Made in Austria and backed by Silhouette's decades of optical expertise, the SPX Illusion 2960 is a solid everyday frame that won't weigh you down.

Comparing the SPX Illusion 2960 to Other Silhouette SPX Models
If you're drawn to the Silhouette SPX Illusion 2960's lightweight feel and Austrian craftsmanship but want to explore other options in the same collection, the SPX Illusion 1604, 1605, and 2942 models are worth considering. All four frames share the same proprietary SPX®+ polymer composite material, screwless hinge design, and hypoallergenic properties that make the collection popular with customers who have sensitive skin or need all-day comfort.
The key difference is frame shape. The 2960 features a classic round design (48-17-140mm) that works especially well for angular face shapes. The 1604 and 1605 offer alternative shapes—if round frames don't suit your face or personal style, these models provide the same material benefits in different silhouettes. The 2942 is in the same model series (29xx) and offers a different shape while maintaining the same construction quality.
Price-wise, the 2960 starts at $208.64, making it one of the more accessible entry points into the SPX Illusion collection. The 1604 has an identical starting price, while the 1605 and 2942 start slightly higher at $216.51. All models can accommodate prescription lenses, and the lightweight SPX®+ material is especially helpful if you have a strong prescription.
Why choose the 2960? If you specifically want a round frame shape and appreciate the classic look that flatters square or heart-shaped faces, the 2960 is your best bet. It's available in 10 color options—more variety than some other models in the line—and the 48mm lens width works well for small to medium faces. Customer reviews across the SPX Illusion collection consistently mention the frames' lightweight feel and comfort, so you can expect the same quality regardless of which model you choose.
