LOL, I had no idea I was squirming like that. If I had to guess it was from coffee and sugar from chocolate chip cookies. I must be a subconscious nervous movement. Now I'm going to be self conscience in my next videos. But that's a good thing. I love challenges so now my new challenge is to remain still.
Great videos! I haven't had one pair of Transitions that got dark enough. I hope the Zeiss is better. Also I had the Crizal Transitions with every coating known to man and they just got all scratched up and are now unusable. I am not a fan of these coatings that seem to scratch easier than glass.
Hey organic farmer, I founded the farmers market in my city 20 something years ago and I'm still organic. Yes, Zeiss is much better, however nothing on this planet is scratch proof, not even diamonds. If you are is a dusty dirty field and you wipe your lenses on a dirty shirt then yes you will scratch the lens. I use an old pair when I'm in my garden and my new ones everywhere else.
Soon I will order my second eyeglass after 6 years, and wanted to have fading lenses, but couldn't decide which to choose, zeiss, or essilor. Your video helped me, I want the same blue coloured like the zeiss one, and now I know some of the differences too, so that zeiss one will be ordered. Thank you!
Hi. Essilor Crizal Easy Pro & Zeiss LotuTec/ Duravision Platinum. Which one is better & quality, bro ?! Thanks 🙏🏼 Your channel is very nice & usefull, definitely will develop/ success more 🎉 👍🏼
very nice video. Well i'm in between essilor gen 8 and xtractive. I do like the darker from the xtracrive but i preffer the faster return to clear that gen 8 have. I think gen 8 are newer technology than the xtractive ones. Because i work with many screens in my office which crizal do you suggest me? Alize? prevencia or sapphire? lences will be thinning το 1.6. Thank you
Transitions lenses are not different. My glasses with transitions gen8, eyezen start and Crizal sapphire cost more than 2000 reais, only the lenses. But I love them.
It's awesome. My wife and I wear every day in our frames. The sky, trees and grass look incredible. I've worn gray and green for so many years its refreshing to have a new perspective. Plus I get a lot of compliments when I wear it in public with most people unaware its even available because their optical shops don"t offer it.
Given the choice Zeiss Precision Plus varifocals or Ellisor Variflux Physio 3.0 varifocals with my new photochromic lens? Or is there not much between them? Thanks
Those are both good options but it sounds like you were talking to a commissioned sales person. Those are both some of the most expensive lenses available. Both Zeiss and Essilor have great lenses for less than the two mentioned.
Hi, not transitions related, but need help. A few months ago I bought a pair of glasses to replace the previous damaged ones. The prescription has remained identical (DX -3.25, -2.00, 15°; SX -2.00, -3.50, 180°) as well as the refractive index 1.67 for both old and new glasses. I switched from a Miki Ninn mnaf57 frame to a Micheal Kors mk3030, fitted with Essilor lenses. I immediately accused vision disturbances due to the perception of a blur on the left portion of my right lens, unbearable. After months of attempts and two changes made (each time the centering was changed, once we also tried to change the brand of lenses and the pantoscopic angle, with no results) the problem remained and I had to return the glasses. To this day I still need to change glasses, but considering the bad experience I would like to prevent it from happening again, even if no one could figure out the cause. Since then I have turned to several opticians and each one has given their own hypothesis: those who say that the lens was too big (it was a 54 caliber with a height of 40, while I usually wear a caliber 52 and a height of 35), some say that the size has nothing to do with it and it all depends on the centering (but this was corrected at a certain point, I compared it with the conformity document of the old eyeglasses), some say that it depends on the shape of the frame, others say that I should prefer Zeiss to Essilor, while others say that the brand has nothing to do with it. Could you give me your opinion so I can avoid the same problem happening again? I no longer know which model of glasses to choose, considering also that fashion dictates and in shops you can only find certain types of frame shapes and sizes (in my opinion exaggerated). Thanks in advance

Hi, I am searching for a lens that could just block the sun, but not as high as those, or a traditional sunglasses, but just a tiny fraction, like 10%. Is there anything?

The main difference in the regular Photofusion are the colors. The 4 colors are grey, brown, green and blue. There is only one color in the Extra grey. The regular Photofusion has 30 to 50% blue light protection built in and the Extra grey has 50 to 70%. Also the Extra dark gr will get 30 to 50% dark behind a windshield whereas the regular Photofusion self tinting is minimal.
Zeiss all the way! And that's coming from an Essilor man. I wore and sold Essilor for 10 years or more but I like the colors and speed of the Zeiss much better now. I still use my Essilor lab equipment but now prefer Zeiss lenses.
Please, I have a problem working with my computer. Fatigue and strain kill my eyes. I tried essilor prevencia but I added a photocromic coat. Result it like if i am not wearing anything to protect my eyes. I have never tried zeis but I am considering it. What would you recommend ?
what can you recommend on someone like me a (Mountain Biker), what kind lense do i need? are those anti fog? i need lense which have antifog since i put my prescription glass inside my Goggles fyi i have astigmatism. my left eye is 50 and right eye 350.
What would work best for a mountain biker is a lightweight safety frame. The On Guard 220S has a vented bridge to prevent fogging. Zeiss also makes a spray to eliminate fogging but it only lasts about 3 days be fore needing to be reapplied. You can buy it from Amazon or Walmart. Also you should consider contact lenses. That would work best for what you are trying to do.
@@freeprescriptionlenses contact lense are dangerous in my line of sport since i encounter a lot of dust and small debris. maybe i try that On Guard 220s.

i used to essilor for more than 20years, essilor is weakest lense ever, im now with hoya HVLL and zeiss, if you said who is better than these 3, the first is zeiss very clear and sharp any edge it is really comfortable for vision, second is hoya i like how this lense can make my eyes not tired whole days and hoya hard coating HVLL really good [i hate scratches], and i dont use essilor anymore😂 really garbage compare to zeiss and hoya
The first video you commented on was about five or six years old. Wait for a couple more years. I'm about to blow up when I start designing my own frames.
Im in the U.S. I do not know of a Rodenstock lens distributor here. Costco sells a Rodenstock progressive lens but their optical staff told me that their eye glass lenses are not made in America. Some in Canada and some in Mexico and then flown back in the country to their stores. What country do you live in that Rodenstock lenses are offered. I know their frames were discontinued possible 10 or 15 yeras ago, maybe longer.
You might be right. I got that info from my mood ring. I guess I cant believe everything my jewelry tells me. I'll pay more attention to Cornings research from now on.

I love zeiss duravision platinum with photofusion sapphire. Gonna get another pair with zeiss photofusion.
Here in Brazil a pair of glasses with Zeiss lens, anti-glare and Photofusion costs around U$ 500.00 (without frame)
I ship to Brazil. I charge $35 for international shipping.

Which is more clear indoors? I somehow recall you saying that Zeiss is more clear than Transitions in another video.
Yes, Zeiss is clearer indoors.
Please change the Title to Essilor Style Colors Sapphire ..... they are not Transitions Gen 8.... They are Transitions Style Colors...... Thanks Tony
Witch one is better for night drive?
They are equal at night
So which one is better to go with? Zeiss photofusion or Essilor Signature?
Zeiss all the way! And that's coming from an Essilor man. I wore and sold Essilor for 10 years or more but I like the colors and speed of the Zeiss much better now. I still use my Essilor lab equipment but now prefer Zeiss lenses.
Also does drivesafe+photofusion can be opted together or no?
Yes in Photofusion grey, brown, green or blue.

I just answerd your email.
Please do Transitions Gen 8 Amethyst!
I will if someone orders them.
very good video I would like to know if it is normal for my g8 transitions. with saphire 360 lens is it normal for the lens to be a little yellow? Also ask if you can order some zeiss lenses with transition?
I cannot say why yours has a yellowish tint to your Gen 8's with Sapphire. I can get you whichever lens you want.
I guess its the Crizal.
Do they have a yellow tint or 100% clear ?
96% clear, no yellow tint
Hey need your help..which glass lens should I purchase over between ziess and prevencia for cell phones or computer screen. Ty
Definitely the Zeiss. The Zeiss Duravision Blue Protect is clearer than Crizal Prevencia and $20 less.
What frame is the one with Zeiss crystals?
Its the Oakley 8149 Pitchman R Carbon color 03 polished clear. I have it in stock if you need it.
may I know how much it costs?
The Zeiss photofusion blue is $99.99 and the Essilor Transitions blue is $129.99
Am working with computers and phone so what you suggest for me ( ziess blue protect ) or ( crizal sapphire)
Zeiss Blue Protect!Crizal Sapphire does not have any Blue Light protection built in to it.
@@freeprescriptionlenses okay thanks
@@freeprescriptionlenses do you have video to know the difference between the fake and original
Zeiss Photo fusion in blue 99 Bux all in?
That is correct
hi seemore for reg single vision rx lens what is better zeiss or essilor i dont know the difference thanks

Yeah my question too... In single vision lenses which one is better zeiss or crizal
no compare, zeiss so much better than essilor in any edge,
I can tell you didn't have coffee for this video hahaha
shame, Zeiss blue photofusion lenses are not available in France
Especially since they're made next door in Germany
Your video is awesome 👍
Glad you think so!
I'm only seeing brown, grey, and green tint colors on your website, no blue
While in the drop box scroll down to see all the additional colors
You might be looking at sunglasses lenses then... Choose clear lens then an anti-glare then a photofusion or transitions color
Thanks you
