As-worn POV technology enables Shamir’s lens developers to ensure that the exact same visual clarity and comfort that eyeglass wearers experience with trial frames at their optometrist appointment is maintained when their new lenses are fitted into their frames of choice. This is done by compensating the prescription in front of the pupil – delivering sharp vision to all distances.
As-worn POV™ technology takes As-worn™ Quadro technology one step further. We continue to ensure the right power corrections without compromising the eyeglass wearers’ own frame of choice, while providing the needed prescription as precisely measured at the optical optometrist’s clinic, at the most important place of the lens design: the Fitting Point. This allows us to increase visual acuity with our most advanced designs.
While in previous As-worn calculations we compensated the prescription by the lens position on the patient face at the far measuring position, now we As Worn POV calculate the compensateds the prescription at the lens fitting point – at the point on the lens that the eye stays most of the time. This change creates clear improvement in the wearer’s visual experience.
By including the As-worn Quadro in As-worn POV™ it, we have multiplied the its design source dimensions by four also in As Worn POV. Lens design is now even less sensitive to tilt variations of the patient’s chosen frame, ensuring overall improvement of lens performance in any frame.
A clinical study performed by the Shamir Clinical team showed that wearers preferred designs with new As-worn POV™ Technology versus As-worn Quadro™.
