Yes, all of them do have a standard price list. And apparently they do receive them yearly for each different brands, sister brands or whatever. So far the shops that i go to, they always show me outright the lenses that i want and the prices. After that together with the frame, they will start playing with the calculators.
It's not only coating my dear. It's also the sharpness and clarity. it's very hard to go from branded ones to the cheaper lenses. Especially when you reach progressive stages, the differences are even larger. Like doctors, surgeons, the lenses they use cost even more because they need the absolute clarity.

Also each brand also has tiered lenses. So depending on your needs and how much you are willing to pay for, will have different quality.
Unfortunately you will most likely be paying for marked up prices because they need to profit as well. Unless you know someone. I know there's an optometrist here in lowyat who offers quite decent prices. The last time i went, he did show me their price list book from the suppliers. and then he will offer discounts from there.
Can be washed. I use hand soap all the time to wash. But only hand soap cause it's the mildest soap of them all. It's less harsh to the coating.

What type of soap will be mild enough for the lense? U use the bar type or the bottle pump type?

the optometrist said hand soap, and you need to bubble it up, not just pour the liquid on it directly.
Never use dishwashing soap, cause that one is super strong.

Sometimes I use Palmolive bath soap (the bar soap type), but after washing the specs with it, I take the specs and put it against the light (fluorescent light la in house living room for example, to see how clean it is)..sometimes still got some hazy marks. But if use dishwashing soap..totally clean..dunno la, maybe should use the hand wash pump container type?

just don't use dishwashing soap la. you will destroy the coating really fast. the hazy thing doesn't really affect your eyesights. haha. I also got experience that with certain soap. But now i just use hand soap.

Okay yeah may be better to use hand soap only. I also asked the optometrist where i did my spectacles and also recommended use soap only.

However, last time when I googled about this, I saw some websites and videos where they recommend the Dawn brand dish washer..in fact one of the video was by this eye doctor youtuber if i remember correctly..thats in the west la
