Multisport accessories and sports eyewear specialist, Rudy Project, has rolled out a new prescription sports offering following its recent alliance with Shamir, a manufacturer and designer of RX lenses.
Currently featured in Rudy Project’s Rydon and Agon frame models, the new Shamir Duo lens is a patent-pending Freeform bifocal design that also uses Rudy Project’s proprietary ImpactX material.
As Rudy Project points out, its award winning ImpactX material has ‘a lower refraction index, internal stress and chromatic dispersion than polycarbonate resulting in higher definition and sharpened image.’ ImpactX is also billed as being stronger than any other lens material and is guaranteed unbreakable for life.
The Shamir Duo offers surface continuity, eliminating the visible line that is associated with flat-top bifocals, providing the patient with improved optics. The image jump created by the visible dividing line in flat-tops results in loss of image. With Shamir Duo, a natural, distortion-free path is maintained as the eye moves from one vision zone to another, resulting in enhanced vision and comfort and improved aesthetics.
The Shamir Duo in ImpactX is available exclusively through Rudy Project in a 15mm fitting height.
Rudy Project designs and manufactures performance-oriented helmets, sunglasses, goggles and Rx/prescription eyewear solutions by ‘applying advanced science, cutting-edge technology and innovative aesthetics.’
Designed and crafted in Italy since 1985, Rudy Project has grown quickly as a premier brand throughout North America. Along with proprietary, award-winning lens technologies including ImpactX, Polar3FX and RPOptics, Rudy Project aims to offer unparalleled customer service backed by a Lifetime Replacement Lens Guarantee and an industry-leading three-year frame warranty.
Shamir Insight is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shamir Optical Industry, Ltd., an Israel-based company, which is engaged in the development, design and manufacture of premium progressive and single vision lenses.
