My brother's pair uses Hoya lenses. He said the transition effect comes faster than mine (Carl Zeiss). Is that true?

You should get another card that displays the lenses power (SPH, CYL, AXIS and ADD) for R and L with model of the lenses as well.

I received two cards.

Mine is essilor, but only with the certificate of authenticity card. im not aware of anything about the lens packaging. does this mean i've been conned? >.<

essilor is the lens..its should be authenticated with the certificate of authenticity card.

actually Essilor is a lens company and transition is a product from transition company.
alot of lens company oso can bring in this transition lens so if essilor bring it its called
essilor transition so it has alot as hoya transition,ao transition and etc.but the diff is diff
company may apply diff coating on the lens as essilor have crizal and etc. and diff company
may provide diff authenticity card.

can say that each lens company have their own transition lens...

Transitions lenses were first produced by Transitions Optical in 1991

Carl Zeiss, Hoya, Essilor, Solar and etc are lenses manufacturer.

Transitions Optical owns the proprietary technology for photochromic lenses technology. The first commercially successful plastic photochromic lens was introduced by Transitions Optical in 1991.

so many expert here.......
wowoow
tumb up
i'm using virtually unbreakable transition now.
so far so good

between Carl Zeiss, Hoya, Essilor ..
which lens is good for price around rm250 without transition..
lens power around 2xx - 3xx

using half frame..

thanks..

i bought crizal essilor transitions lense...it's 1.5 CR...i got crizal cloth and certificate of authenticity....rm 300 for lens

i'll prefer Carl Zeiss

Just back from Jusco Bukit Tinggi, Klang ... 2 shop, optical 88 (essilor Transition) - RM 1300 after discount ... MOG (Essilor Transitiopn RM 900) ... 1.67 ..

Demm .. I'm writing without glasses now ..I'm quite shocked after heard the price .. my photo-chrome glass only cost me RM 350 6 years ago and they tell me they don't have my type already .. all need to be Transition .. demm

Is it really true?

MOG price is reasonable if it is 1.67 lens...
how much are your power?can take 1.6 or even 1.5 if your power not too high..will be cheaper anyway...

not all need to be transition..
there are still alot type of lens out there...
they just try to con u to buy expensive lens

just compare few more shops, simple

Hi Irzani, may I know what is your power? as I was quoted higher for an Essilor Transition lens, due to my high astig. My astig is 400(L) and 250®, was told high astig at 400, lenses will be expensive, is it true?

Just a quick question, what is the difference between 1.67 and 1.5?
Hoya Transition - RM400; Carl Zeiss Transtion - RM450, which one is better and more worth? Thanks.

if I am not mistaken, high index lenses are thinner and lighter then conventional lenses, the higher the index the thinner and lighter it is.

Just got myself a Varilux Comfort high index 1.59 lenses...

You guys got it so cheap. 3 years ago I got my Essilor Airwear Transition Crizal 1.591 lens for RM1000 a pair. Exactly 2 years ago I made another so called Transition lens overseas, found out the lens was not as thin, as light and as flat, which enough to cause headache. After comparison from other shops, got to know it is because of Airwear lens, which being thinner, lighter and flat, more importantly it is polycarbonate resin, ultra strong for frameless.

A week ago I made another pair of lens with Essilor Airwear Trans Crizal again, price after bargaining was still RM900 a pair. After reading most got it at half the price, I wonder are yours polycarbonate as well?

My other non transition Essilor Airwear lens also cost me RM300 a pair.

do u mind to share what is your power? I got my pretty expensive

my astig is high (400), was told that the high astig lenses are expensive, is it true?
