    Wave Who is best provider of freeform designs?

    Our lab is looking into Freeform surfacing using a SatisLoh VFT-orbit2.

    Looking for recommendations / opinions as to who provides the best designs on a per click basis.

    Thank you in advance for your input.

    Every design is pre-qualified on the VFT Orbit. You need to figure out which is the most cost effective for you and your patients. IOT, IMHO, fits the niche quite well, including Camber. However, Essilor, Shamir, Kodak, Hoya, etc have designs that may fit into your OEM and branded strategy/budget. Best bet is to reach out to the reps to discuss click fees before you decide on one or more designs.
    OEM gives you the flexibility to use any SFSV. Branded gives you the luxury to market the actual brand, but you will be limited to their blanks, thus losing some flexibility. I would recommend both OEM and Branded for your portfolio.
