Today, with the advent of digital manufacturing, all lenses perform pretty much the same. The differences between them are miniscule at best. And yet, they all do one thing wrong. They all treat vision in a monocular manner. The SHAW lens is different. The SHAW lens is a truly binocular vision system. It uses a patent-pending method that takes measured motor fusion limits (vergences), the prescription, and position-of-wear information into account in the design of a pair of lenses. This provides unparalleled binocular vision. The resulting “These new glasses SHAW lens is designed to maintain induced prismatic effect that are a relief.” falls within the individual patient’s limits. It solves aniseikonia E Freidman (Patient), ON 04 “ Up to 56% of those 18 to 38 have Symptoms of Aniseikonia symptoms related to a binocular vision Headaches1 Eye Strain1 Can’t see 3D-TV2 problem.” – Dr. Dominick Maino, Professor, % % % Illinois College of Optometry, Why is Illinois Eye Institute 67 67 12 dynamic Light sensitivity1 Reading Nausea1 difficulties1 aniseikonia % % % so important? 27 23 15 Clinical trials indicate that solving Tolerance of static and dynamic What is dynamic aniseikonia? dynamic issues is the single most aniseikonia varies widely from patient Double vision1 Nervousness1 Dizziness1 important aspect of patient comfort with to patient but fortunately it can be Dynamic aniseikonia (anisophoria) is a pair of glasses.

Eyeglasses are becoming commoditized. With online optical the message is that eyeglasses are simple devices. We both know that is far from the truth. Using the SHAW lens app, you can demonstrate the outcome that you and the SHAW lens can make to their vision. It’s a great tool to help you demonstrate the difference you bring.
