Shamir
Duo™
An advanced bifocal lens
combining clear vision
What it is
A bifocal freeform lens that aesthetically
conceals the line separating its upper and
lower vision segments, while ensuring the
smoothest transition between near and far
vision zones.
Duo overcomes these challenges by
effectively eliminating the highly visible upper
and lower lens segment separation line,
while continuing to ensure smooth transition
between near and far viewing fields.
Shamir Duo is designed to address the
limitations of traditional bifocal lenses –
namely their negative aesthetic association
with elderly people, and the jarring
temporary loss of sight experienced when
shifting one’s eyes between their near and
far vision.
The lens ultimately allows customers to
enjoy many of the benefits of progressive
lenses – including compatibility with a range
of materials, tints and coatings – in a bifocal
format ideally tailored to both visual needs
and aesthetic preferences.
