Silhouette is one of the world’s first eyewear brands that focuses exclusively on rimless eyewear and is now offering a revolutionary online consulting tool–the virtual mirror. This exclusive tool allows wearers the opportunity to try rimless eyewear on their computer, in the comfort of their own home. The virtual mirror belongs to the new Silhouette Rimless Aesthetics Program and is available for free at ww.silhouette.com. For the first time every wearer has the opportunity to try a pair of Silhouettes; they can change the eyewear, try out new colors, and, more importantly, virtually experiment with different lens shapes. This gives the wearer an opportunity to select their eyewear before an optician professionally fits the “real” one. The direct way to the virtual mirror is via www.silhouette.com/virtualmirror. Every user can upload their photo in a simple step; using either an existing one or one they take with a webcam, and then virtually try on Silhouette eyewear selected from the almost unlimited variety available. This allows the wearer to play with and test the entire Silhouette rimless range on their face, enabling them to find their own personal individual eyewear. Those who don’t want to explore the virtual mirror program with their own face can use a photo of one of four models available.

A cylinder measurement is necessary if your lens corrects for astigmatism (the cornea’s oval, rather than round, shape). Measured in diopters (a unit for refractive power of lenses), the cylinder shows how much astigmatism you have. The negative sign means myopic astigmatism (inability of the eye to focus sharply on distant objects). A plus sign would mean hyperopic astigmatism (inability of the eye to focus sharply on nearby objects).
