Visual AI Engine™

2019-02-17T13:45:29+00:00

Visual AI Engine implements the continuous design concept along the entire matrix of optimization parameters such as: sphere, add, face-form angle, pantoscopic tilt, fitting height, base curve and index. Mimicking human intelligence, the engine runs a multi-dimensional optimization process, based on the various design genes. The complex design required for Shamir Autograph Intelligence™ would have been too demanding to achieve without the new technology of the Visual AI Engine. The end result is a product ahead of its time, designed with extreme accuracy for each Visual Age™.

Continuous Design Technology™

2019-02-17T13:27:17+00:00

Current lens design offers the same design to everyone. It is based on a one-design concept, where one single prototype defines the design implemented on an entire product. This does not take the diversity of patients' visual needs into account. To meet diverse needs, Shamir's new Continuous Design Technology integrates various "design genes" based on a number of prototypes to form the foundation of one product with a continuous design concept.

Using this new technology, Shamir's optical designers integrated multiple design genes based on 12 different prototypes, one for each Visual Age™, thereby introducing a continuum of gradual change as the foundation of Shamir Autograph Intelligence™. This new design technology also promises that individuals whose habits deviate from the Visual Age™ profile will still receive a satisfyingly personalized lens thanks to the new concept of Continuous Design Technology.

Eye-Point Technology AI™

2019-02-17T13:06:20+00:00

Until now, Eye-Point Technology III used simulations of the human eye and real-world images to improve visual acuity and width of vision for every prescription.Using a new software, Head Eye Integrative Movement (HEIM), developed by Shamir engineers, we tracked exactly through which areas in the lens patients actually look, along both the vertical and horizontal meridians in the different vision zones. This technology now enables us to design a lens that takes into account actual viewing angles computed for every distance. Previously, our designs were based on simulated eye movement. Now we actually know where the eye looks. Whereas in the past we simulated, now we see.

IntelliCorridor™

UNIQUE POWER PROFILE FOR CLEARER VISION

This technology controls the power profile along the eye’s visual path through the progressive lens corridor, and allows Shamir lens designers to give variable emphasis to the power for every given point on the lens. Based on this, Shamir has the ability to design lenses optimally suited to a particular activity, from lenses for specific sports, to multi-purpose lenses that pay special attention to clear vision for today`s intermediate visual tasks. This is achieved without compromising distance vision, the ease of adaptation and smooth transition between viewing fields.

Natural Posture™

2017-03-15T09:38:37+00:00

NEW ERGONOMIC DESIGN CONCEPT

Natural Posture is a new ergonomic design concept that dynamically locates the near viewing zone within the progressive lens corridor, taking into account the positive or negative power of the prescription. This minimises the need to tilt the head forward or back or raise and lower a book in an attempt to bring the text into focus. Any postural discomfort while reading is thereby minimised, ensuring the patient enjoys natural, comfortable posture.

As-Worn Quadro™

2017-03-14T12:12:30+00:00

PERFECT VISION FOR ANY FRAME CHOICE

As-Worn Technology™ compensates lens design structure according to the unique parameters of the chosen frame. It ensures that once the lenses are fitted into the frame, patients will experience the same visual acuity as they did in the optometrist’s trial frame. With As-Worn Quadro, an add-on to our existing technology, we have multiplied the design source dimensions by four. Lens design is now even less sensitive to tilt variations of the patient’s chosen frame, ensuring overall improvement of lens performance in any frame.

Eye-Point Technology™ III

2017-03-14T10:08:51+00:00

THE REAL WORLD VISION EXPERIENCE

Eye-Point Technology III is a new analysis technology that enables Shamir to overcome the problem of different prescription-related viewing experiences. By simulating the real world view for any given prescription, Shamir is able to redefine the viewing experience, ensure similar fields of view for both hyperopic and myopic wearers, and provide an improved viewing experience for all patients, regardless of prescription.

Close-Up™

2017-03-14T09:41:03+00:00

THE NEAR PD SOLUTION FROM SHAMIR

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.

Shamir’s Close-Up technology adjusts 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.

There are a number of cases that demand special attention to provide patients with the near vision performance they deserve:

Non-standard far PD
Pupil asymmetry
Atypical tilt of head
Mono-vision patients
Functional convergence/divergence problems
Non-standard work distance
Non-adaptation to progressive lenses
