Direct Lens Technology™ - The Freeform® Line
Direct Lens Technology™ is Shamir Optical Industry’s latest technological development.
A package consisting of hardware and software, it is sold to labs worldwide. Based on Freeform Technology, it represents the 21st century's new approach to lens processing –
customized back surface optics. Direct Lens Technology™combines the patient's data with a
lens design based on Shamir’s Eye-Point Technology™ in order to create a personal file for
a customized progressive lens with expanded vision zones, precision optical power and the
most elegant lens shape. The lens surface data file is computed by Shamir's Freeform
software and transferred to advanced cutting and polishing machinery for mold-free lens
production. This unique process yields a finished lens containing individual characteristics.
Shamir's Autograph™ is the company’s first lens family based on its Direct Lens Technology™ .

Direct Lens Technology™ Components
Software
Shamir's Prescriptor™ Freeform software is designed to manufacture progressive lenses according to specific prescriptions. Prescriptor™ calculates and prepares a progressive surface file. Taking into consideration all manufacturing aspects (e.g. geometric measurements of blanks, blocking tools, machining parameters, etc.), it follows up by sending the file to the lens generator, lens polisher and laser lens marking machines.
Hardware
Shamir makes sure that the lens surface file computed by Prescriptor is readable and suitable for lens processing by any one of the existing free-form machines available on the market at the present time and in the future.
Semi Finished Blanks
With Direct Lens Technology, labs benefit from a small and cheap stock of SFBs with front spherical base curves.
R&D Team
Shamir’s R&D team provides ongoing post-sales support and training to labs around the globe. It operates a unique Freeform R&D lab located at Shamir's headquarter in which each of the existing Freeform lines on the market is installed. By having these lines, the team can recreate prescriptions difficult to produce on the same Freeform machines that you have, and guide you on how to successfully make them. Shamir's experts can remotely log on to your software, maintain, update and train you and your staff on it. Shamir’s R&D team is committed to helping you smoothly run your Shamir based Freeform technology.
