Shamir Creation® Progressive Lens Fitting Instructions
Lens Frame Fitting
- Before taking any measurements, make sure the patient is sitting straight, without any back support.
- Adjust the frame to correctly fit the patient.
- Ensure a pantascopic tilt of 10"-12".
- Minimize the vertex distance by fitting the frame as close to the face as possible. This will ensure a wide field of vision at all ranges.

Pupil Distance Measurement
Be aware that the PD can differ from eye to eye.
- When using a pupilometer for measuring pupil distance, verify the result through a manual test.
- If a pupilometer is not available:
- Position yourself at the patient’s eye level, making sure he is looking directly into your eyes.
- Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the lens frame.
- Place the demo lens on the centration chart and read the monocular PD.
Height Measurement Fitting
Be aware that the fitting height can differ from eye to eye.
- Position yourself at the patient’s eye level.
- Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the lens frame.
- We recommend a minimum fitting height of 19 mm.

Cut-Out Confirmation
- Check both the right and left lenses.
- Align the pupil center marking over the cross on the centration chart.
- Make sure the lens frame shape falls within the selected lens diameter.
Lens Verification
- If lenses are not marked, restore the markings with the Creation marker.
- Fit the completed eyeglasses on the patient and verify that the fitting cross is aligned with the pupil center.
