Shamir Autograph® Fitting Instructions

Frame Fitting

• Before taking any measurements, make sure the patient is sitting straight, without any back support.

• Adjust the frame to correctly fit the patient.

• Ensure a pantascopic tilt of 10"-12".

• Minimize the vertex distance by fitting the frame as close to the face as possible. This will ensure a wide field of vision at all ranges.

Pupil Distance Measurement
Be aware that the PD can differ from eye to eye.

• When using a pupilometer for measuring pupil distance, verify the result through a manual test.

• If a pupilometer is not available:

  • Position yourself at the patient’s eye level, making sure he is looking directly into your eyes.

  • Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame.

  • Place the demo lens on the centration chart and read the monocular PD.

Height Measurement Fitting
Be aware that the fitting height can differ from eye to eye.

• Position yourself at the patient’s eye level.

• Mark the pupil center on the demo lens in the frame.

• We recommend a minimum fitting height of 19 mm.

Cut-Out Confirmation

• Check both the right and left lenses.

• Align the pupil center marking over the cross on the centration chart.

• Make sure the frame shape falls within the selected lens diameter.

Lens Verification

• If lenses are not marked, restore the markings with the Creation marker.

• Fit the completed glasses on the patient and verify that the fitting cross is aligned with the pupil center
