How to Choose Your Lenses: return to previous page

Ophthalmic lenses are carefully designed to recreate natural vision.  There are different designs available for specific visual tasks and needs.  For example, if you are a Presbyope and need adjusted power for nearpoint tasks, you will likely want a multifocal lens.  The Progressive Addition Lens (PAL) provides the most natural vision with the best cosmetic appearance, as there is not a visible line, resulting in image jump.  Shamir Insight’s Genesis premium PAL provides wide areas of clear vision.  Many occupational and hobby environments, particularly computer use, require a lens specifically designed for small spaces.  Shamir Insight’s Office Lens is an occupational/hobby lens created for just such tasks.  Additionally, premium PALs and small environment lenses provide an ultraviolet radiation filter, critical to the health of your eyes.
