    What is the best free-form digital lens measuring device?

    We are thinking of adding an automatic device for taking measurements for free form digital lenses primarily we sell Shamir digital lenses. We are going to have a demonstration of the SpecTech from Walman labs. If anyone has any suggestions of questions I should ask or ideas for other devices I should look into I would appreciate some input. We take all measurements now manually or use default settings. What has worked for you in your practices?

    Thank you, S.

    Optikam is a great choice and not too pricey. Shamir has one called spark that you could probably buy with some of your shamir points.

    I have found that defaults work just as good if not better then the expensive measuring devices. we manufacture 1000s of freeform lenses and have not had any issues at all using defaults. I talked to a shamir rep and he gave me good insight on this. you can spend that extra time and get the perfect measurements but the moment the patient takes their frame off improperly those measurements are skewed. defaults work best in most cases.

    I have personally tried them all and hands down I found the Optikam the most accurate, easiest to use, most advanced and best value on the market.
