Shamir Launches Spark Mi Measurement Device

July 6, 2016

Shamir Insight is launching its newest measurement device, Spark Mi. Shamir’s new device looks and acts like an ordinary tabletop mirror, but is an advanced new measuring device that allows ECPs to take all required measurements in one click, for clear and most dark lenses.

With Spark Mi, the patient looks in the mirror, as they naturally would, wearing their chosen glasses. The optician clicks once, and the patient’s image is captured. The image appears on the optician’s computer screen, along with an immediate and accurate, automatically measured PD. And with that, the patient’s measuring experience is complete. The optician can then get all the other measurements needed from the computer: FH, frame box, DBL, vertex, panoramic and pantoscopic tilt.

An advantage of Spark Mi is its ability to take measurements through most dark sunglass lenses. Spark Mi is capable of clearly seeing the patient’s pupils even with the darkest of lenses. Measuring with sunglasses is now just as quick, easy and accurate as for clear lenses.

The Spark Mi is designed to offer patients greater comfort and a high-tech experience, while saving the optician time and guaranteeing precision. A USB cord is included with the Spark Mi to hook up the device to the ECP’s computer. Internet connection is preferred, but not required.

“The Spark Mi is yet another innovation from Shamir designed to drive practice efficiency and patient engagement. We are excited to bring this new offering to Shamir customers to help them grow their practice, save time and create a better patient experience,” says Mark Becker, vice-president, marketing and strategic partnerships.

For practices participating in Shamir’s ReCreating Perfect Vision (RCPV) Rewards Program, Spark Mi can be purchased for 262,500 rewards points. Spark Mi can also be purchased directly for $1,400.

ECPs have an opportunity to earn additional RCPV Rewards points with the purchase of the Shamir Spark Mi. When the practice sells 50+ pairs of qualifying Shamir product, within the first 90 days of purchase, they will earn an additional 45,000 RCPV Rewards points. Practices must be enrolled in Shamir’s RCPV Rewards Program to earn and redeem points.
