    Trying a Shamir lens

    I want to try out a Shamir lens, but I'm not sure which lens I should try out. RX is

    +1.25 -1.75 095 OD
    +1.75 -2.75 082 OS.

    I thinking of the Auto III SV, Attitude III SV, or the Shamir Relax. Any recommendations as to if one worked better?

    I haven't tried the Relax but I have a pair of sunglasses that are Auto III sv and the peripheral vision is uncanny.
    Only use the Attitude if it is a high wrap, high base curve frame.

    +1 for Auto III SV here as well.

    I'm a -10.50 and -10.75 with a little cyl, and I agree with Tallboy. Most peripheral clarity I've ever had in a lens (which is saying something because I usually get very little).

    Relax has a +0.50D power boost at the bottom of the lens, so if you're looking for straight SV, don't use it.

    Relax is Shamir's lens for accommodative inefficiencies for non-presbyopes like Essilor's Eyezen. It's a 0.67D add, you may or may not notice a difference with the add, I've used the Eyezen 3 which pretty much has the same add and I'm now back to the Auto 3 SV and I can't say I notice a difference in vision at near or increased eye fatigue. It won't cause long term damage to use it and if you are experiencing CVS issues it wouldn't hurt to try. I believe the Relax is built on the Auto 2 SV platform, so periphery may not be as crisp.
