Has anyone else been using these new lenses? We have been getting them in with consistently sloppy laser markings on them. We got a set sent in today with 2 add markings - with different powers - stamped one on top of the other. The rep at Signet Armorlite had the audacity to tell me the "DS" in Unique DS stands for "Double Stamped".

I: "Tell me what makes Hoya better than them"
Rep: "Shamir is better than us on wrap frames and Zeiss is better over all"
I: "So what are you here for?"
Rep: "Well you can use our lab, don't have to get Hoya lens from us"
I: "Ok, I will get back to you on that"
Sometimes there lens companies hire really interesting folks who has experience in the optical industry but no peoples skills at all, or it is the other way around. So far the best rep I have seen is Shamir rep.

Can confirm the DS (double stamped) peculiarity with the Kodak Unique DS. Ordered a pair with a 1.75 ADD, it was double stamped with a 1.00 and 1.75, scoped them and the correct ADD was supplied. Gonna have to call my rep and report their reaction.Clinton Tower

When the lens first came out, I noticed that the availability was exactly the same as the precise. I believe they are using the precise 1.00 add blanks, and are optimizing the back side. This is why you are seeing two stamps.

I have been using Kodak products for more than a few years now. I have dispensed many Kodak DS (Dual Side) lenses, along with the new Precise PB (Precision Back) These lenses can be completed with digital surfacing. At times I'll get a patient with a previous Varilux product, I will gladly switch them into the Unique DS. Non-adapts & Dr's changes 100% credit.. I believe the rep that made the double stamping comment was joking.Last edited by KKirkpatrick; 12-03-2012, 06:01 PM.
