Fun in the Sun

Shamir Glacier Sun™ is the perfect match for your patients’ outdoor visual needs. A top-tier achromatic and anti-reflective coating for sun lenses, Shamir Glacier Sun ensures enhanced lens protection while also minimizing glare.

When talking to patients, be sure to explain that this coating is important in all types of weather, not just on bright, sunny days. What most people don’t understand is that while the intensity of UV is decreased in the shade and on cloudy days, the Skin Cancer Institute reports that up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds.

Tip: Besides helping protect eyes, the anti-reflective properties of Shamir Glacier Sun™ lenses also help deliver perfectly clear and crisp vision.

Besides helping protect eyes, the anti-reflective properties of Shamir Glacier Sun lenses also help deliver perfectly clear and crisp vision. They also keep reflected sunlight from bouncing off the rear of the lens surface and back into the eyes.

APPEARANCE
