Shamir Creation™
Flat & Exact
   
An absolutely flat, progressive lens with minimal distortion. That’s what the market has been demanding, and that’s what we’ve set our sights on. 
SHAMIR CREATION™ is available in six different base curves. As a result, the prescription range is optimally divided between these base curves in order to guarantee the best optical performance for each prescription.  The end result: a flatter, thinner lens with the top optical quality. It’s no wonder that SHAMIR CREATION™ is especially attractive.  It’s the cosmetically-correct lens suitable for rimless and half frames.
