Shamir unveils new academy

Progressive lens specialist Shamir has unveiled a purpose-built training facility, the Shamir Academy, at its Cambridge Head Office.

The company's one-day 'Perfect progressives' course is aimed at all practice staff involved in dispensing to presbyopes. With a particular emphasis on free form, the course will take delegates through the history of progressive lenses, matching of designs to lifestyles, trouble-shooting and tips for achieving the perfect progressive dispense.

Shamir plans to launch further courses later this year. Pictured is managing director Nick Browning, and customer services manager Sue Chambers.
