Shamir Redefines the Measuring Experience with Spark Mi™
Shamir announces launch of new measurement device.
San Diego, CA – April 15, 2016 – Shamir Insight, Inc., manufacturer of premium progressive lenses, announces the launch of their newest measurement device, Spark Mi™. Shamir's new device looks and acts like an ordinary tabletop mirror, but is actually an advanced new measuring device that allows ECPs to take all required measurements in one click, for clear and most dark lenses. Spark Mi™ will be available May 16, 2016.
With Spark Mi, the patient looks in the mirror, as they naturally would, wearing their chosen glasses. The optician clicks once, and the patient’s image is captured. The image appears on the optician’s computer screen, along with an immediate and accurate, automatically measured PD. And with that, the patient’s measuring experience is complete. The optician can now get all the other measurements needed from the computer: FH, frame box, DBL, Vertex, panoramic and pantoscopic tilt.
A great advantage of Spark Mi is its ability to take measurements through most dark sunglass lenses. Spark Mi is capable of clearly seeing the patient’s pupils even with the darkest of lenses. Measuring with sunglasses is now just as quick, easy and accurate as for clear lenses. An attractive addition to any optician’s shop, Spark Mi offers patients greater comfort and a hi-tech experience, while it saves the optician time and guarantees precision. A USB cord is included with the Spark Mi™ to hook up the device to the ECP’s computer. Internet connection is preferred, but not required.
“The Spark Mi™ is yet another innovation from Shamir designed to drive practice efficiency and patient engagement. We are excited to bring this new offering to Shamir customers to help them grow their practice, save time, and create a better patient experience." said Mark Becker, VP Marketing and Strategic Partnerships.
