Hi guys,
wanted to post here; https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1271520/all but decided to post here instead.
I just ordered a pair of prescription eyeglasses which includes;
-Hoya lenses
-Transition
-The usual coatings ( i think
)
without frame the price of a pair of lenses is RM570...If i get the 'house brand' lens would be cheaper around 4xx
When I go to Hoya (after picking up) just like gatal tangan and browse Hoya website and found out there is many variants of Hoya lenses, and wanted to know which type is mine. I open the case that comes with the purchase, and found that the Hoya Lens Quality Card has nothing written that may indicate what type of Hoya lens. And there is no Transition card, only the Hoya card.
the card looks like this (but with QR code on the top left of the card);
Behind just printed;
I managed to take pics of the Order form and below are the boxes ticked;
Lenses Specifications:
Material: CR39
Type: SV
Treatment: M/C/UV
Pigment: Transition
Spectacle Prescription :
RIGHT
SPH : PL
CYL : - 0.25
AXIS : 85
VA : 6/6
LEFT
SPH : +0.50
CYL : -1.00
AXIS : 90
VA : 6/6
Apart from going all the way back to the shop, is there any way to know what type of Hoya lens I got on my prescription glasses?
And the transition from clear to dark took on my glasses is a bit longer to turn dark as compared to my friend's Carl Zeiss transition. And mine doesn't turn dark while driving 
Is Zeiss transition (or Essilor or Nikon or Transition themselves) better than a Hoya made ones? Is transition a coating of the lens itself? if yes, then maybe someone can recommend me a reputable shop which provides the best description on what we are paying. The shop I went was less informative regarding what type, and only focus on what brand. I'll maybe get rid of this 3 day year lens and go for a pair of better ones if needed.
My last pair was 4 years ago and that was in-house lenses.

Hoya SunTech and Hoya Transitions
Suntech is cheaper than Transitions , current Transitions already go to 7th generation , which is darker compare to Trasitions 6th gen ,
and both product Would NOT change colour behind Windshield (inside car)
there's only Transitions Xtractive will change colour behind windshield .
About your second question , doesn't matter which lens brand like Zeiss/Nikon/Essilor/Hoya , as long they're using * Transitions * , colour change will be same . (Transitions is own private technology , which sub their technology to lens manufacturer like zeiss/nikon/essilor/hoya etc , so the appearance of end product will be same )
base on this certified card

you probably got Suntech = Photochromic lens instead of Transitions lens .
if base on my HOYA price list ,
yours product is 1.50 NULUX Transitions HVP Coat which is RRP570 .
and it's possible some dishonest optical shop they give u cheaper product while it has same functions .
anyway my shop at KL setapak here, feel free to come over
