Supercharge Your Lenses
Mark your calendar. Dec. 1 is the launch date for Shamir’s revolutionary new nano-structure technology—Shamir Glacier PLUS™ Metaform in 1.74.
In the past, it’s been a trade-off. If you chose one key lens feature or benefit, you often had to give up another. To enjoy light, thin, or durable lenses, or ones with particular optical capabilities, you’d have to make some tough choices. For example, which was more important to your patient…a light or strong lens, a high prescription or thin lens?
What Is It?
With Shamir Glacier PLUS Metaform in 1.74, patients can say goodbye to those trade-offs. This new nano-structure lens manufacturing technology, co-developed with Satisloh, has taken years of research.
The result? It enables the production of a new type of lens that hasn’t previously existed by enhancing any lens, in any index, with a range of capabilities. It embeds lenses with higher impact resistance, rich protective features, and light wavelength control capabilities.
How Does It Work?
Glacier PLUS Metaform rapidly fuses the multi-feature Preform—which combines a range of optical and physical properties—with any lens in a 3D themo proforming process. A novel overlay, Preform consists of a coating structure and optical film combined in a unique design process.
How Does It Benefit Patients?
Benefits unique to this new technology include:
√ Improved comfort/safety: Up to 18x stronger than the FDA standard requirement, and up to 20% thinner and lighter (in minus lenses) than regular lenses.
√ Enhanced aesthetics: Thinner lenses, reduced Newton rings.
√ Eco-friendly: Minimal water, energy, and chemical consumption
√ High quality: The same high quality is guaranteed for every lens.
√ Built in: The Preform™ contains layers of coating which are applied in one fusion process as opposed to the standard layer-by-layer process.
√ Faster: The coating process is up to 98% faster than current processes, with zero compromise in quality.
√ Selection: All the eyecare professional has to do is choose the relevant index according to the patient’s Rx.
Though this exciting technology won’t be released in the U.S. until Dec. 1, go to Shamir.com to learn more about what’s ahead with this 1.74 launch. And, once you’ve had a chance to try it for yourself, tell us about it and share in the conversation on Facebook here.
