About Shamir
Shamir is a leading provider of innovative products and
technology to the spectacle lens market. Utilizing its proprietary
technology, the company develops, designs, manufactures, and

Progressive lenses are used to treat presbyopia, a vision condition

leading lenses are marketed under a variety of trade names,
including Shamir Genesis(TM), Shamir Piccolo(TM), Shamir
Office(TM), and Shamir Autograph(TM). Shamir believes that it has
one of the world's preeminent research and development teams for
progressive lenses, molds, and complementary technologies and
tools. Shamir developed software dedicated to the design of
progressive lenses. This software is based on Shamir's proprietary
mathematical algorithms that optimize designs of progressive lenses
for a variety of activities and environments. Shamir also has
created software tools specifically designed for research and
development and production requirements, including Eye Point
Technology software, which simulates human vision.
