lenses accentuate the blue of the sky
to enhance the contrast of a fly ball,

track ground balls by making the
greens and reds richer so the ball
stands out against grass and dirt.
“Prizm lenses are color-tuned for
specific sports and environments
to provide greater visual detail and
sharper colour contrast. It’s a lens
technology specifically engineered
to correspond with different
environments,” she said.
Shamir Canada sells both a sports
lens and a uniquely designed golf
lens. Shamir Attitude III Sport
offers three vision zones — one for
close up (40 to 50 centimetres),
another for a distance of one to five
metres and a far zone for images
well ahead.
Shamir Golf also has three zones
— close up for filling out the scorecard, mid-range for looking down
at the ball and far for looking at
the green in the distance.
“Both the Golf and Sports lenses
are specifically designed for large,
curved frames and the optics are
optimized to ensure very minimal
distortion in the peripheral field,”
said Shamir marketing manager
Martin Bell.
