Shamir Lenses in Singapore
Shamir Lenses at EMME Visioncare
Shamir lenses are free-form optical lenses made by Shamir Optical Industry, a lens maker founded at Kibbutz Shamir in Israel and known for personalised, digitally-surfaced lens designs. As an independent optometry practice, EMME Visioncare fits the full Shamir range and matches each lens design and coating to how you actually use your eyes — at the screen, on the road, at work and in between.
Because we aren't tied to a single supplier, we can recommend the Shamir lens that genuinely suits your prescription and lifestyle rather than a one-size-fits-all default. Shamir sits alongside the other lens makers we work with as part of our full range of prescription lenses.
Why choose Shamir lenses
Shamir specialises in free-form (digitally-surfaced) lens technology, where each lens is calculated individually rather than ground from a stock mould. Across the range this is designed to give clear, comfortable vision, smooth focus transitions between near and far, and lens designs tailored to the way you move between tasks throughout the day.
Shamir lens designs we fit
Shamir Autograph Intelligence — personalised everyday progressives
Shamir Autograph Intelligence is the brand's most advanced everyday progressive lens. It tailors the lens design to your "Visual Age" — the visual needs typical at your stage of presbyopia — to support an easier adaptation and smooth focus from near to far. If you're new to progressives, our guide to the signs you might need progressive lenses is a useful starting point before your consultation.
Shamir Autograph III — a versatile everyday progressive
Shamir Autograph III is a well-rounded everyday progressive design built with Shamir's EyePoint and Natural Posture technologies. It's designed to deliver wide, stable viewing zones and a comfortable, natural head and eye posture for general all-day wear.
Shamir Computer & WorkSpace — for desk and screen work
Shamir's occupational lenses, Computer and WorkSpace, are tuned for the desk-to-screen zone rather than distance. They give a wider, more comfortable intermediate and near range than standard reading glasses — a strong choice if you spend most of your day at a workstation. For everyday habits that help too, see our tips on reducing digital eye strain.
Shamir Optimee — myopia management for children
Shamir Optimee is a free-form spectacle lens designed to help slow the progression of short-sightedness (myopia) in children while giving clear everyday vision. It is made with an impact-resistant material intended to stand up to active play, and is supported by published clinical research; results vary between children. It's one of several evidence-based options we offer for managing childhood myopia — learn more on our myopia control page and book an assessment so we can advise on the most suitable approach for your child.
Shamir Blue Zero — blue-light filtering
Shamir Blue Zero is a lens material that filters a portion of blue-violet light from LED screens and digital devices, intended to support comfort during screen-heavy days. If you'd like the background first, here's a clear explainer on blue light and your eyes.
Shamir Glacier lens coatings
Every pair of lenses we fit includes anti-reflective coating as standard. Shamir lenses can be finished with the Glacier range of coatings, which are designed to reduce reflections, repel dust and smudges for easier cleaning, resist scratches and add UV protection.
- Shamir Glacier Plus UV — an everyday anti-reflective coating that reduces glare, helps keep lenses clean and blocks UV in both incoming light and light reflected off the back of the lens.
- Shamir Glacier Expression — a premium anti-reflective coating designed to reduce reflections further for clearer vision and a more natural appearance on screen and video calls.
- Shamir Glacier Sun — an anti-reflective coating for tinted and sun lenses that cuts reflections without altering the chosen lens tint.
Our optometrist will recommend the right lens material and coating combination for your prescription and lifestyle during your eye test.
Fitted and dispensed by qualified optometrists
Your Shamir lenses are recommended, measured and dispensed by our optometrist clinical team, so the lens design and coating are matched to your prescription, frame and the way you use your eyes.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I get Shamir lenses in Singapore?
Shamir lenses are available at EMME Visioncare @ The Cathay — 2 Handy Road, #02-13 The Cathay Mall, Singapore 229233, beside Dhoby Ghaut MRT. To arrange an eye test and lens consultation, call us at (65) 8690 3598.
Which Shamir lens is right for me?
It depends on your prescription, how you use your eyes and your budget. Our optometrist assesses this during your eye test before recommending a Shamir design and coating, so the lens suits your daily routine rather than a generic default.
Can Shamir lenses go into my existing frames?
In many cases yes, provided your current frames are in good condition and suit the lens type. Bring them in and we'll assess whether they're a good fit for new Shamir lenses.
Can Shamir Optimee help slow my child's myopia?
Shamir Optimee is designed to help slow myopia progression in children alongside regular monitoring. Results vary between children, so we assess each child individually and track progress over time as part of our myopia management.
Do I need an eye test before ordering Shamir lenses?
A current, accurate prescription gives the best result, so we recommend a comprehensive eye test. You can book an eye appointment with us directly.
