The key to Shamir’s reputation as a leading source of high quality, innovative designs for
progressive lenses is the heavy emphasis the company places on Research and
Development. Shamir’s drive to innovate, achieve and maintain a high level of technological
sophistication, and practice rigorous quality assurance procedures have significantly
contributed to its growth.
The Team
The professionals working in Shamir’s R&D division are considered to be one of the world's pre-eminent teams for developing progressive lenses, molds, and complementary technologies and tools.
The Tools
Shamir continually enhances its capabilities to develop unique products and related tools designed to optimize production processes. To do so, the company persistently develops new algorithms for optimizing and analyzing lenses. This process entails identifying optical metrics previously not taken into consideration in order to develop innovative algorithms incorporating these optical qualities. Once these algorithms are in place, the software team utilizes them for developing complementary, world-renowned proprietary software for lens design. It then transfers the software to the design team.
Capable of simulating human vision, Shamir’s innovative technologies optimize the design of progressive and aspheric lenses, and minimize distortion. Shamir's latest technological development is its Direct Lens Technology™. This free-form lens manufacturing Technology™ consists of hardware and Shamir’s comprehensive Prescriptor™ software for lens computation available to third parties.
Shamir’s technological breakthroughs and its lens design capabilities have placed it at the cutting-edge of progressive lens technology.
