Up Close and Personal
Shamir’s Close-up™ lens personalization technology ensures maximum near and intermediate visual comfort for your patients.
Why is this so important? For one thing, 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 with progressive lenses. The amount of convergence required and achieved influences near visual performance during close work tasks.
Tip: A physiological trait that varies from person to person, convergence is particularly significant with progressive lenses.
HOW IT WORKS
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 lifestyle, type of work, hobbies, and so on.
THE BENEFITS
What other benefits does the technology deliver to wearers?
• ACCOMMODATION: Close-up technology accommodates natural eye-focusing motions.
• CLARITY: The technology ensures vision clarity at near and intermediate distances.
• COMFORT: It also maximizes viewing comfort by precisely matching the specific physiological properties of the individual eyeglass wearer’s eyes.
In short, this technology results in a highly personalized lens that meets today’s visual performance demands, whether average or irregular, for near and intermediate viewing sharpness.
