I participated in a webinar today with Shamir Lenses. The presentation was to introduce us to a new Shamir lens called Shamir Creation. this is being marketed as a Freeform Optics(TM) product. What makes this product so special is that ceramic molds are not ulilized the formation of the lens blank removing some of the error that occurs in the development of a regular PAL. In addition, the product will have more base curves for selection. Shamir says these factors will allow the end product to be closer to the actual design of the lens and therefore more precise. Shamir will formally introduce this lens a Vision Expo East and then will ship product to labs beginning on April 17th. We'll have more on this lens in April.
