While I'm a firm believer in A/R, I do not believe in the hype sold to dispensers by progressive manufacturers and ESPECIALLY by A/R manufacturers.

I've been using made in china and taiwan A/R for the past 6 years and have been relativly happy with the quality.

This time around I pampered myself and ordered a finished pair of -1.00 SPH OU Essilor SV lenses with Crizal. (700% more expensive)

It has been 2 weeks and both lenses have cracking in the A/R, something my "made in China" previous lenses did not have in my 1 year of wearing.

Is it just me or does someone actually notice a reson to pay the difference between decent quality A/R manufacturers?
