Nano-structure technology to supercharge your lenses

ENJOY
COMPROMISE-FREE LENSES

Shamir is proud to present Glacier PLUS™ Metaform nano-structure lens manufacturing technology, offering a new breed of compromise-free supercharged lenses with all the optical, physical features and coatings built-in.

How does Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ work?

Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ rapidly fuses the multi-feature Preform™, which combines a range of optical and physical properties, with any lens, in an eco-friendly 3D thermoforming process.

The Optical film

Is a powerful layer used by the automobile, aviation and space industry, including NASA, due to its impact resistance qualities - enabling a thinner and lighter final lens.

The coating structure

Is optimized by algorithms while controlling light - enabling a new way to apply coating on a lens.

Preform

3D thermoforming Fusing

To ensure a perfect match between the Preform and any lens curvature – creating a supercharged lens.

UP TO 18 times STRONGER*

than the FDA standard requirement.

UP TO 20%
THINNER and lighter

than regular minus lenses.

SUPER-STRONG, SUPER-THIN and SUPER-LIGHT

Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ technology enables high minus prescription lenses to be thinner and lighter than regular ones with identical indexes. The result – compromise-free eyeglass lenses that are both super-strong, super aesthetic and super comfortable to wear.

COATING BUILT RIGHT IN

Replacing standard coatings with Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™’s All-inclusive
multi-feature Preform™:

UP TO 98% FASTER COATING PROCESS,
WITH ZERO COMPROMISES ON QUALITY

Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ doesn’t just provide lenses with advanced features such as super strength, lightness and thinness. It also significantly enhances them with the functional equivalent of coatings.

Perfect looks and
perfect vision

Glacier PLUS™ Metaform™ uses advanced algorithms to ensure that every optical and physical property of its multi-feature Preform™ is most precisely and reliably index-matched, ensuring full uniformity.
