Shaw Lenses
Uniquely designed to address these binocular vision problems by helping both eyes see in harmony.
Shaw Lenses are advanced, custom-designed prescription lenses that help correct binocular vision imbalances. Each lens is specifically engineered to balance image size and alignment between both eyes.
Shaw Lenses use an advanced method to accurately model eye rotation, allowing precise prediction of the distortions that can occur with traditional eyeglass designs. Using this advanced modeling, each lens is precisely engineered to reduce or eliminate those distortions, creating a more natural and balanced visual experience.
By doing so, they help ensure both eyes see images of the same size and clarity – minimizing discomfort, double vision, and the strain often caused by standard lenses.
How Do Shaw Lenses Work?
Image Size Balancing: By adjusting the optics in both lenses, Shaw Lenses ensure that each eye sees images of nearly identical size.
- Prismatic Correction: They integrate precise prismatic adjustments to align how the eyes converge on objects, reducing double vision and eye fatigue.
- Customized Design: Every pair is uniquely crafted based on a patient’s exact prescription, frame choice, and eye measurements.
Why Dr. Laura Recommends Shaw Lenses?
Most eyeglass lenses are designed to correct each eye independently. For patients with significant differences in prescription between their two eyes — a condition called anisometropia — standard lenses can actually create new problems. Shaw Lenses solve this problem by engineering both lenses together as a system, ensuring that what each eye sees is balanced and compatible.
Dr. Laura recommends Shaw Lenses when:
- A patient has a significant prescription difference between eyes — causing discomfort or visual strain with standard lenses
- A child with strabismus or amblyopia — needs a glasses-based option that supports binocular vision without patching
- A patient is experiencing double vision or eye fatigue — that hasn’t been fully resolved with a standard prescription
- An individualized, custom solution is needed — every pair of Shaw Lenses is built specifically for that patient’s exact measurements and frame
