Fezz is right there is a substantial cost differential in the NXT and Hoya products.
Isn't mentioning poly and technology some kind of misnomer. Not only was Hoya the first manufacturer to bring 1.70 to the US, they were also cited by Business Week as one of the top 100 Tech...
Speaking as a guy who previously repped Ralph for 7+ years I can tell you many of us worked very hard to build the line for Safilo. We had many years that the styles were very bland and boring but...
comparing a compact design with a standard corridor lens is comparing apples and oranges. Do me a huge favor, the next time you pick a frame pick one that you can get an 18mm fitting height on and...
According to the Three Rivers rep the free form generator they got to make the Shamir Autograph was not being utilized (this is not a cheap piece of equipment to be sitting around collecting dust) so...
Hoya has a 1.60 polarized available in Europe.
[QUOTE=Happylady]I personally have tried the Hoya CD and found the distance area very poor. If I turn my head only slightly everything gets blurry. QUOTE]
Hoya has a one year patient satisfaction...
Younger will launch TRANSITIONS FT Trilogy at the end of the month:cheers:
If I had a dollar for every time a person on optiboard has said something derogatory about lenscrafters or one of the other "chains" I could probably retire tomorrow. If differentiation is not...
I was curious if you have received your 1.74 job and exactly how long it took. I have heard so many conflicting stories of where it is being made and the the expected turnaround times I would like to...
[QUOTE= "Hoya has their own A/R , Hi-Vision, and Super Hi-Vision, these can only be applied to Hoya." makes me wonder...

As a former Safilo rep I can tell you that generally by the time a catalog hits an accounts hands it is 1 to 3 release cycles behind. Many frame vendors (Safilo included) have websites that are...

Looking at the catalogue, I'm not so sure. Any opinions?

as a former frame rep I would hate it when a doctor / buyer would not at least give me a chance to update...
Younger's Trilogy Trivex is only available aspheric. Hoya's Phoenix Trivex is available as aspheric or spherical. So if your in a Trilogy you're in an aspheric.
Augen now manufactures a double...
Trivex has no slightly yellow hue. That is propaganda perpetuated directly from companies that have a vested interest in Polycrap. I have talked to people that have processed hundreds of pairs of...
Trivex, Trivex, oh did I mention trivex.
The Hoya Summit series, Shamir Genesis and Piccolo and many other better quality progressives take the patients rx into account when processing the prescription. The base curves and add insets...
All I can say on the price issue if you go to a shop around you can get Phoenix (Trivex) finished, uncut and stock (with Hi vision Coating) for not much more than poly. Sorry about the price...
Ryan with all due respect, at -4.00 I don't think poly is a good option either. if you look at the largest percentage of prescriptions in any office, they will fall into the -4.00 to +4.00 range. At...
:cheers:
The price difference between SV Poly and SV Phoenix (Trivex) is short money. That's a small price to pay for a much better product. Here we go again looking for a reason NOT to use a...
As a former frame rep. (8 years, left at the top of my game) I can tell you unless your friend happens to fall into a line (like my old line) that has been worked very well for a number of years, it...
Jo with all due respect, as a former frame rep I can tell you not many reps like doing cold calls but it is a necessary evil. I'm sure all frame reps would love to check their voice mail everyday and...
:cheers:
I hear people on here always talk about "the evil chains" but here you have a material we know for a fact has much better optics than poly("the evil chains" material of choice) but many...
John, I was just curious what lens material did you put this customer in orignally?

Hoya Hi Vision is good but Super Hi Vision is the most scratch resistant AR on the Market. It has a 10.94 Bayer rating I believe that Alize's Bayer rating is 5.2....
