Shamir Canada has opened a new full service lab in downtown Toronto that will offer three-hour service to ECPs. The new agreement gives exclusive use of the three-hour service to Members of Eye Recommend.

Named Inotime, this lab is the fifth of its kind in the world opened by Shamir (the others are in Israel, the US, Portugal and Singapore) and endeavours to complete all lens orders within 3 hours.

The two organizations will co-invest in local marketing initiatives to ensure that people who live and work in downtown Toronto understand the value of this service.

“Shamir and Eye Recommend have been great partners for a number of years,” said Shamir’s Scott Catton, “it just felt right to capitalize on the strengths of Shamir’s lens technology alongside the infrastructure and commitment to patients that Members of Eye Recommend have.

“We really felt this was a game-changer and wanted to be involved”, states Ken Barbet, CEO of Eye Recommend. “The fact that Shamir is offering three-hour turnaround on premium freeform lenses and coatings offers incredible value for our Members as well as their patients.”
