    Smilie Hoya lenses

    We have been very happy with the Hoya brand which seems to be the only line which private ODs can say supports private offices. We have had great success with these lenses and still use some Essilor lens but have almost converted the majority of the patients to these lenses.

    I have to say I agree. I've used Essilor branded lenses, Shamir, Seiko, Zeiss, Nikon, and Hoya, and recently Hoya lenses seem the easiest. That's not to say that they're the best, just the easiest to use. Shamir and Zeiss lenses can be fantastic when they work for a patient, but have inexplicably high non-adapt rates. No idea why. Hoya lenses though, have a tendency to just work for most patients.

    Maybe it's just that Hoya lenses are more forgiving to less than optimal fitting by opticians (I rarely fit myself. I mostly do paperwork, adjustments, and ordering)?

    Depends on the type of Zeiss lens you use. If you are using one of their entry levels, then yes, adaptation is going to be an issue. Depends a lot on the patient's prescription as well, and what they are going to be using the glasses for. Every lens manufacturer will have a lens for every patient's need. You just need to listen to what they are wanting and choose accordingly.
