VSP VISION
Unity Vita Elite II
VSP introduces Unity Via Elite II Fixed Designs, progressive lenses with four fixed corridor lengths—12mm, 14mm, 16mm, and 18mm—designed to provide greater control over lens customization and fitting.
According to VSP, these fixed designs enable eyecare professionals to select a specific corridor length, ensuring a tailored fit based on individual patient needs.
Built on the same core technologies as the Unity Via Elite II variable lens design, the fixed designs deliver sharp, balanced vision, VSP shares. The expanded options accommodate different lifestyle requirements, potentially assisting patients who may have difficulty adapting to progressive lenses, according to the company.
SHAMIR
Shamir iFit
Shamir announces a centration software exclusively for the Spark 4W device, Shamir iFit, which automates the frame-fitting process to deliver eyewear measurements. Using artificial intelligence-driven speed and precision, Shamir iFit captures and records all measurement points, including panoramic angle, pantoscopic tilt, and vertex distance—all activated with one click, according to the company.
Designed to accommodate any frame shape or lens type, including sunglasses and coated lenses, Shamir iFit operates with Spark 4W through a mobile app. Measurements are captured as customers look at the Spark 4W mirror, offering a touch-free process that requires no markings or prior training, Shamir shares.
