    kodak lenses

    I just got a visit from the Kodak lens rep, we do not use them, and I am not that familiar with the product. I also tend not to believe sales people. Anybody have any feedback good or bad.

    Kodak has been my go to for about 15 years now, I love them. Now, as a progressive wearer, I still love them!! We have a very low non-adapt rate with the Kodak products. I would def give it a shot!

    They are OK (purchased out by Essilor now, just an FYI). Used them for a couple of years with ok result. Switched to IOT about 1.5 years ago and was suprised by the difference. IOT has been fantastic!

    Kodak lenses are good, at least the Concise and Precise are. I personally wouldn't do business with a company affiliated with Essilor though.

    One of my old bosses swore by the Kodak Consise, but at the time he was getting a 20 or 30 dollar kick back for every Kodak lens he sold. I haven't had very good results with it myself on the patients that order it through Davis, but there are alot of variables in that equation. There are better lenses then the Kodak line at similar pricing.

    Don't you fit the Kodak Unique?
    Much more modern and better lens design although I have had issues with their Clean 'N Clear AR coating.

    No, I'm sure it's good but i haven't dealt with them since before it was launched.
