    Question Shamir Autograph Office

    So the doctor I work for is really fond of the (regular) shamir office lens. Patients seem to really like it too.

    So today we got some info about shamir doing a freeform version of the office lens (shamir autograph office).

    Anyone have experience with this lens? Is it worth bringing up to the doc?

    I haven't tried it, but if it's like the other Shamir lenses it's good.

    My Lab guy loves his office lens!

    We are actually going to start putting my other high add opticians in the Autograph Office lens for around the stores. I am tired of watching them struggle to see the computer.

    I just attended a CE course by Shamir and Pech. The focus was the new freeform lens options.

    Shamir is promising 100% adaptation with the Autograph Office Lens. I have not fit anyone in this yet, but the standard Office lens is amazing.

    We were told that the Autograph Office lens can be set for any specified working distance at the top from 20 feet to 15 inches.

    I don't work for them, but if the lenses live up to the hype, I will definately fit more of them.
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

    We've had good success with them at our office, but we have had a few nonadapts, mostly with complaints of narrow clear vision. We switched to a ST and they're fine.
    I'm a big fan of all the Shamir Freeform lenses. We've had many genuine "wow" reactions.
