deciding the lens for my glasses but not sure which brand is better ..
any experience of hoya , essilor , zeiss , kodak ..etc ?

I use Zeiss. not bad

can share about the price and the lens index?

Used few of those brands, can't tell the difference to be honest

same, it's just how long can their coating last and how well their scratch resistance work.

Just got a new lens recently, the Essilor Eyezen Boost Crizal Sapphire HR, been only a month, so far so good.

the optical shop quoted me the lens price difference around 100+- , but still not sure which to pick up

me too
the most expensive i tried was hoya---no difference also
so after that i always avoid any attempts by the optician to try to upgrade my lens, just use cheap one now

Using hoya, 1.71 index iirc.

Clear vision, coating is stronger than the Kodak lens I had. No scratches yet after 1 year plus.

don't go for branded lens like Zeiss, Hoya, etc....

Every year I change my lens. Frame very lasting I usually continue using the same for years

I go to any shop immediately I told them the spec that I want but I want Korea OEM manufactured one....

Same features like transition, progressive, etc....the Korea OEM lens can do but price become half!

Been doing that for years

They cakap Zeiss will see different in term of clarity

Hoya manyak confident coating give 2 years warranty

essilor I think is proud of their lens less yellow compared to others

Multifocal lens?

I've used Zeiss, Essilor and Kodak before...I don't notice any differences. The former 2 are also way more expensive...currently using Kodak and it's cheaper.

This. And also reflectiveness. Some lens coating gives you reflection, very irritating especially when driving.

Some coating is so bad that the lenses will have fine scratches very fast, affecting night vision especially when driving.

used hoya and kodak before. honestly i cant tell the difference. i would just choose the cheapest one

the shop usually will show u a book with the retail price on it, and it really depends on how many percent of discount they willing to give you. It can be anywhere from 10-30%, but dont expect all to give you 30% as some of the shop are selling you service rather than the lens itself.

I found that the shop that gave me 30% did not provide as good service as the ones giving me 20%, they even measure my prescription wrongly, and I've been wearing the wrong prescription for the past 2 years, causing excessive strain to my eyes. So yeah, find one that suits your budget and provides better services for you. Good luck

Bought those cheap multicoated lens Korean or china OEM lens most of them last for years.

Less than RM200, if coating gone... Get a new 1

I have used tokai and hoya for my multifocal lense. Both are equally good wide angle, minimum distortion. No complain on coating.

Same here haha, lasted more than 7 years, still going strong

It all depends on your budget, how often your power varies, and your frame.

If your frame rosak, you need to get a new lens together; if your coating comes out after 2 years, get a new lens.

No spectacles are made to last forever, and the way we use them, you will definitely get scratches on them. At the end of the day, what you want is you can see comfortably.

Only goes for Hoya and Zeiss.
