The artificial intelligence revolution is also coming to sunglasses

A new survey by Shamir Optica reveals that the vast majority (about 62%) of people who wear eyeglasses do not wear optical sunglasses. In a sunny country like Israel, this means that most of the people who wear eyeglasses do not do so while driving.

We are familiar with the multifocal technology that makes it possible to overcome difficulty seeing at long and short distances in eyeglasses, but it turns out that it has penetrated into sunglasses as well, and today at Shamir Optics, any pair of the trendiest sunglasses can be turned into optical glasses. In this case, we are not talking about dark colored contact lenses, but adjusted and pre-designed lenses for changing lighting conditions.

How is such a matching process carried out?

Initially, an optometrist examines, then the lens is also adjusted according to the type of sunglasses chosen by the customer, the size of the face, the ratio between the pupils and, of course, according to the specific size required.

Is this technology suitable for all types of the population who wear glasses or only for those with high prescriptions?

The technology is relevant to everyone – young and old, those who suffer from nearsightedness or those who need multifocals and also those who need high prescriptions of up to minus 11.

What is special about those lenses?

These are lenses with smart technology that are personally adapted to the customer, with a wider field of vision and high optical precision. The lenses are based on artificial intelligence technology, even in the lens design phase. The significant advantage is that it combines all types of customer data and integrates environmental data – and through technology AI Selects an ideal lens structure combination based on similar users. The resulting experience is rich and new vision, even in extreme lighting conditions.

What types of activities are they adapted to?

The eyeglasses are adapted to any type of activity, both in sports activities such as walking and running, and in everyday activities, such as reading and watching screens.
