Shamir is a leading provider of innovative products and
technology to the spectacle lens market. Utilizing its proprietary
technology, the company develops, designs, manufactures, and

including Shamir Genesis™, Shamir Piccolo™, Shamir Office™, and
Shamir Autograph™. Shamir believes that it has one of the world's
preeminent research and development teams for progressive lenses,
molds, and complementary technologies and tools. Shamir developed
software dedicated to the design of progressive lenses. This
software is based on Shamir's proprietary mathematical algorithms
that optimize designs of progressive lenses for a variety of
activities and environments. Shamir also has created software tools
specifically designed for research and development and production
requirements, including Eye Point Technology software, which
simulates human vision.
