Shamir is among the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality progressive and single vision lenses. At Look Opticians we use Shamir lenses in our labs to satisfy 99% of our patients needs.
The visual demands of today’s world have changed. Nearly everyone is now using digital devices, resulting in increased close viewing and increased eye convergence. A physiological trait that varies from person to person, convergence is particularly significant regarding progressive lenses, while the amount of convergence required and achieved influences near visual performance during close work tasks.
According to recent surveys, 90% of people use digital devices for two or more hours each day, while 60% use digital devices for five or more hours each day.
Close-Up technology
We adjust the reading zone inset of the lens to each individual patient’s convergence during near viewing. This creates a lens that meets individual differences, from physiological traits such as distance between pupils, length of arms, or convergence/divergence disorders, to life style, type of work, hobbies, and so on. The result is a highly-personalized lens that meets today’s visual performance demands, whether average or irregular, for near and intermediate viewing.
Eye Point Technology
Seeking to overcome the problem of different prescription-related viewing experiences through the same width viewing zone of the lens, and questioning what the patient truly sees, Shamir has applied reverse engineering to its technology. Starting by defining the size of the object we want patients to see, Shamir`s Eye-Point Technology III is now able to simulate real world images and support the design of lenses that provide an improved viewing experience for all patients regardless of lens power and frame choice.

Free Frame Technology
A ground-breaking design tool that automatically adapts the lens design to the frame size and shape. It dynamically adjusts the corridor length and moves the reading zone to the most optimal position in the frame. FreeFrame Technology is used in conjunction with Shamir’s Autograph II™, winner of the OLA, 2010 Award of Excellence for best lens design.
