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.

i use zeiss

but will turn yellowish over the time

latest is essilor (because spend slight high budget on frame)

used to question a lot if hoya or zeiss really worth the price.

But in the end i just go for the most reputable one. Main reason it's your most important organ (more important than your dick) cos u use it 100% of the time as long as your eyelid is not shut.

Moreover It's not like u going to change glasses every year. Handphone u can spend 3k-5k every 3 years but glasses u complain when it's 1k+ ? lol

if your power is low, just change cheaper brands
if power extremely high, then better to invest in premium brands

I can vouch for Hoya's coating, been using for 5 years, still no scratches, and I'm the type that dgaf and wipe my glasses with clothes

Ada satu brand sahaja sebenarnya...

buy from where?

I did it at focus point. Couldnt remember the price. Around 500-600 per pair.

Nikon

I use kodak

Check with the local smaller shops, ask them Korean multicoated lens how much to refit.

don't go for those branded shops all push you expensive lens or don't carry them

those Korean lens have catalogue, so u can check before you buy. Dont be pressured to purchase, can always leave.

Hmmm...

last time i used hoya and essilor, their coating was shit tier quality, never again
now using zeiss only

couldn't agree more, mine fail within a year, i ask them to replace because still under warranty. But their coating had since improved. And of course, i took extra care of them nowadays.

I had coating issue even with hoya, zeiss

In the end i found out the main reason. Avoid exposing the lens to bath water, the most damaging is sea water and swimming pool. I used to wear glasses in beach and swimming pool because i cant wear contact lens

Been using Hoya and Tokai my whole life, but lately lens are so expensive. Maybe the ringgit.

I'm wondering if those china lense are ok? my power is 500 both and 50 astig each. Saw some 1.74 for RM500, is it ok?

https://shopee.com.my/LCYY-1.56-1.61-1.67-1...652.22524638008

have found a good shop , hoya lens+frame =600 , my power around 600

yeah but its not a HI hoya and probably non branded frame.

best price i found 1.67 hoya single vision is 390 on promo.

Nikon

why change lens every year? what the reason?

usually i change specs 3-4 years like that

Good topic i am researching to do a glasses recently.

Just curious, i believe business sometime have so call tricks happen? maybe

i saw the commemt some people said hoya can last up to 6year without scratch, some said it sh*t coating quality.

how can verify the genius of the glasses lenses when the shop handover the glasses?

I am think for Hoya Sync lll & Essilor Eyezen Blue uv crizal

Zeiss website is so unfamous for me, so i dont know to choose the the specification i want

and maybe consider nikon & Seiko.

but this week offday will go to my nearest shopping mall (sunway putra) to check the price with Hoya & Essilor.


Do you guy think its better to make glasses in shopping mall or traditional shop lot at street? example maybe chow kit?

If non multi focus, cincai will do.

If multi focus, hoya & tokai

I wanted to find out also. Asked for power around 900, and if I want the thinnest, it cost about 1.3-1.6k for zeiss.. I'm so hesitating to get one. I'm not T20.

The MOG say they have local brand can do cheaper, but didn't mention the brand name
