Specifically, how do each of the following compare:
1) iGuard vs TD2
2) HD vs Crizal EC
3) HD Plus vs Crizal Forte
Or the Zeiss/Nikon equivalents (Purecoat/Seecoat, for instance).
The only thing I've noticed so far is cosmetic. FYI coatings are very, *very* green in comparison to competitor's coatings; there's an almost overwhelming green sheen to them. Forte has a light green, hardly noticeable sheen, Seecoat is a bit greener but still ok, and Purecoat has a nice light blue sheen.
Thanks!
