NEW PRODUCTS

AUTOGRAPH III NEWEST FREEFORM DESIGN FROM SHAMIR

 
Autograph III is the new and improved version of Shamir’s Autograph II. Using a new generation of EyePoint Technology, lenses can now be created to adjust to real world viewing. The goal of this new technology is to overcome the problem of different prescription-related viewing experiences through the same zone of the lens. Previously, each patient’s perceived viewing field was significantly different based on their prescription, although the lens design remained the same. EyePoint Technology III has effectively solved this problem, so both hyperopic and myopic patients experience similar viewing fields, by enabling the ability to provide a different lens design for the Hyperopic and Myopic patient. Shamir Autograph III is available in CR-39, SuperLite 1.60, SuperLite 1.67, SuperLite 1.74, Polycarbonate, DLC Trivex, and NXT and in 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and 18mm fitting heights. For more information contact Shamir at 877-514-8330 or visit their Web site at www.Shamir.com.
