We're excited to announce that we are processing the new Shamir Driver Intelligence progressive and single vision designs in-house here at IcareLabs. These amazing new designs bring a unique opportunity for your optical to drive high-end branded sales with a design many patients are falling in love with. Let's find out why these designs are so special in this blog.
As you can see from the video above, the Shamir Driver Intelligence lenses are designed with drivers in mind. They offer 2 distinct designs, Sun & Moon, in single vision and progressive lens designs made for day and night driving respectively. Many patients are now experiencing the joys of having dedicated driving lenses that help them tackle the road with confidence.
The Driver Intelligence lenses are powered by the same AI technology and real user data the drives the amazing Shamir Intelligence lenses. They partnered with the BWT Alpine F1 racing team to test them under the most extreme driving scenarios. These provide a tailored fit for each and every patient. From single vision patients, to first time presbyopes, and seasoned progressive wearers; anyone that wears glasses and drives a vehicle will find use with the new Intelligence Driver Sun & Moon.
These lenses boost color contrast while providing the clearest vision possible so your patients have the safest driving possible no matter what the conditions the road may bring them. Shamir boasts these lenses will help give your patients'
Increased road awareness due to higher attention- Greater confidence under varied conditions
- Lower cognitive load for improved visual processing
- Faster Reaction times for improved performance
- Optimal physical comfort enables a pleasant drive with less effort
While both designs are exceptional, I think our customers will see the best sales by utilizing the Shamir Driver Intelligence Moon design which is specifically made for night driving. These lenses are clear and take full advantage of their propriety "visual age" myopic shift to help improve low-light sharpness.
In a recent survey of night drivers in the USA, 71% said that night driving glare was a concern in all driving conditions, while 71% said they had "trouble identifying road signs in poor weather at night". With the rise of
brighter LED headlights in newer cars as well, there has never been a better time for a new night time driving lens. Many challenges faced by today's night drivers did not exist even 10 years ago.
We have talked often in our blogs of the importance of safety for our patients. Whether it be with high impact resistant lenses, proper sun wear or blue light protection. By fitting a product such a Shamir Driver Intelligence we will give our patients a more comfortable and safer driving experience. While there are many options for day time driving the Moon design is a game changer for those seeking a better and safer nighttime driving experience.
As you have your needs-based conversation with your patients, make sure to ask about how their current lenses perform in different situations, e.g. night driving. I think you will be surprised by the number of eyeglass wearers who are seeking more out of their lenses when it comes to night driving and even driving in general.
With the new Shamir Driver Intelligence you will now have a product to fit this need.
