Shamir Optical Portugal wants to alert and, above all, raise awareness – from opticians to spectacle wearers – of the importance of guaranteeing the quality of the ophthalmic lenses sold, which must have the appropriate certifications and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In a world where new companies and brands related to visual health are born every day, it is necessary to awaken everyone’s critical sense of this reality and for the level of demand to be high with the entities and products circulating on the Portuguese market. It is the duty of all professionals to demand certified products so that the Portuguese can take care of their eyesight,” the brand said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As ophthalmic lenses are a class I medical device, all products of this type marketed must follow the rules imposed in the new Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017\/745 (MDR), which aims to improve surveillance, market surveillance, and traceability, as well as ensuring that these products reflect the latest scientific and technological state-of-the-art. This legislation also provides more transparency and legal certainty for manufacturers and aims to strengthen international competitiveness and innovation in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should also be noted that these new regulations on medical devices adapt European Union legislation to technical advances, changes in medical science, and progress in the legislative process. The new regulations also create a robust, transparent, and sustainable regulatory framework, recognized internationally, which improves clinical safety and creates fair market access for manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All lenses manufactured by Shamir Optical in Portugal comply with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017\/745, harmonized standards EN ISO 14889 and EN ISO 21987, and international standard ISO 8980. Shamir lens envelopes are CE marked as proof of compliance with the Medical Devices Directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shamir is committed to the quality and reliability of its lenses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shamir Optical Portugal guarantees that all ophthalmic lenses purchased by its customers are properly registered with Infarmed, which can be confirmed via the link created for this purpose – https:\/\/www.infarmed.pt\/web\/infarmed\/pesquisa-dispositivos<\/a> – by entering the code associated with each lens. The company also offers the Shamir eCard, a double certificate for Shamir ophthalmic lenses, which guarantees, along with the laser marks on the lenses, that they were developed and produced in one of the company’s laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo by Nathan Dumlao<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shamir Optical Portugal wants to alert and, above all, raise awareness – from opticians to spectacle wearers – of the importance of guaranteeing the quality of the ophthalmic lenses sold, which must have the appropriate certifications and requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[205,27,204,206,95],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1283"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1289,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1283\/revisions\/1289"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.opticapro.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
