Product Information

Remember when everyone thought it was cool to wear big frames? We’re talking about the ones with the 35mm fitting height that covered half of your face. Don’t laugh, they might make a come-back! Until they do though, the next big thing is actually small. To accommodate the movement towards small frames our designers shifted, shrank and perfected the progressive design to create Shamir Piccolo®.

Product Information (continued...)

With a soft design, up to 100% wider reading zones than other leading progressives in its class and a 16mm minimum recommended fitting height, Piccolo® is out to show that great things can come in small packages. We like to think of Piccolo® as the vertically challenged (a.k.a. short) progressive superhero! Piccolo® stands for low unwanted astigmatism below the 180 line, has a short progression length and always provides a wide reading channel – what more can you ask for when looking for a progressive lens to fit a short frame?

Piccolo® is number one in our book... and Dr. Sheedy’s too! In his 2006 study, Dr. Sheedy ranked Piccolo® number one in the “Near Specialty Usage Category”.

So, if you have a presbyopic patient with a preference for those fancy short frames, you have a solution - just put them in Shamir Piccolo® and they may come back complaining

Product Information (continued...)

Shamir understood that big frames weren’t always going to be in fashion so our scientists designed a lens that would accommodate shorter frames but still provide uncompromised vision. At 16mm and a soft design, Piccolo® is your best choice.
