I started in the industry 11 years ago. Through that time I have used RF99, Seiko, Pentex, no name, OSA Lite HMC, UTMC, and Nikon HCC to just name a few. Crizal is the FIRST and only one where I did not get people returning regularly. The other coatings would range from everyone returning (no name ones) to one a month to bimonthly (HCC). I get maybe once a year with Crizal.
Where all of my competitors are using other coatings and saying they are just as good, they are also going around blaming their customers for using too much make up, spending too much time outside under the sun, and opening up ovens as the reason for crazing. I do not need to. That is why I use Crizal.
Is it that Essilor is just better? No. I am sure your Chinese coating is just as good. Here is the problem, there are so many independent coatings out there, and many of them have failed for me. How do I know to trust coating XYZ next time? It is a risk. To test it out I have to put them on many customers and wait several years to see the results. I cannot treat my customers like guini pigs to try that out.
So when it comes down to it I use Crizal. I also use Super Hi and I am sure that Carat Advantage holds up. But trust wise, I have to use what I know.
