I use Digital Eye Lab in Hawthorne, NY for Indo products. The lens apparently starts out as a single vision blank and with freeform technology, the lens design and Rx is translated to the back side of the lens. The lab also has a high grade proprietary AR, Claris HD.
More experiences---
First time progressive monocular (blind OD) OS only mild rx into Auto Variable Transition Poly "No problem".
Panamic poly mild hyperope change to Auto 2 Poly "These feel great!".

I have had many sucess stories with the Auto 11. My husband says it is the best ever!!!!!
Thanks to Jubille and Jacqui for mentioning us. We have recently lowered our pricing on our Autograph pricing since we produce it in house. If anyone needs pricing on it let me know.
Some people see the glass as half empty, some as half full. I see the glass and wonder what the radius of curvature is.
iCoat has strengthened our partnership with Shamir. In so doing, we have actually LOWERED our Auto II prices! iCoat is the only major AR coater that can apply a top tier AR to all Shamir products. This is the wrong forum to mention prices but let's say that MarcE will be able to turn a great profit on his Freeform markup! PM me if you would like more info.

which machine is it the best in the world for freeform tecnology?
I am searching these machines but everybody tell different things someone loh or seiko etc.
You mention Loh or Seiko but Seiko does not make the machines. Loh does make machines, while Seiko offers lens designs.
The machines Schneider and Satis Loh and Opto-Tech are the 3 most widely used worldwide and are all successfully producing lens designs from different manufacturers.
We tryed satis and also optotech
satis is good for power range
optotech is good for quality of the surface
with the satis until, now (more then 2 years) we can not make a good trivex lenses but with optotech we make a very nice trivex surface also for the POLY
if we sill by another one it will be OPTOTECH

you can get it in 14-16-18 mm progression
in my book this lens is amazing ( im to lazy to measure out for Auto II and i dont think the custemers can tell the difference)
best regards

The largest difference between the new Autograph Plus and Autograph II is the design- and power compensation in Auto II. It really give a noticeable difference for the user.
But the new Autograph Plus do make a large improvement from the previus Autograph and put this product in a a whole new liga for standardized freeform lenses.

Maybe like the Rodenstock Hyperop? I suspect that the Auto 2 is optimized more for myopes, and not so much for hyperopes, especially the moderate to strong plus wearer. I'm a moderate myope, and can not directly experience what a stronger hyperope experiences when wearing PALs. Any information you have would be welcome.

Experience is the hardest teacher. She gives the test before the lesson.
The Auto Plus is quite new here (it´s been named Spectrum as well) so my knowledge to this product is reduced. The Auto Plus is a new generation of the previus Auto Classic. The Auto Classic was build on the Genesis platform thus it´s much better than this. The Auto Plus is build on the Creation platform. It has been improved even more so what you get, compared to the previus Auto, is flatter base curves, lower astigmatic abberations, softer design, better distance and intermedia, three different zone lenghts (14, 16 & 18). What you NOT get, compared to Auto II, is design and Pow compensating that brings you even more clear vision, and noticeable better intermedia.
We still dont have any experience with this new lens so I will get back to that as soon we have some customer feedback.
