Eye-Point Technology™
Shamir Optical Industry’s first technological breakthrough, EyePoint Technology is a radical departure from conventional eyeglass lens analysis tools. Ensuring an accurate design and analysis, it enables the development and manufacturing of sophisticated, tailor-made progressive lenses.
The key element behind Shamir’s EyePoint Technology is a dedicated ray-tracing program written by Shamir scientists. Combining lens surface topography data with a highly advanced mathematical algorithm, this sophisticated technology calculates the optical performance of thousands of locations covering the lens surface, taking into account the following parameters:
- lens index refraction
- lens prescription
- lens center thickness
- distance from the eye to the back vertex of the lens
- distance from the lens to the object
- object’s angular position in the eye’s field of vision
- pantoscopic tilt of the frame
- pupil distance
- thickness reduction prism, and more.
Eye-Point Technology™ Next Generation
The new generation of Shamir’s Eye-Point Technology is based on Wave Front Computation. It simulates a far greater number of prescription types and optical characteristics, creating a new horizon for Eye-Point Technology.
