    Shore Company AR?

    Does anyone know anything about this companies AR coatings at all? Does their standard coating hold up very well? Are they even comparable to anything?

    This is a back-up option for me. It does not compare to Younger, Seiko, Vision Ease, or Hoya. I only tend to use it for highly discounted jobs.
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    We use their BlueShield lens as a cheap option for second pair sv readers and computer glasses. So far, it appears to be holding up fairly well.

    We tried the BlueShield as an alternative for Recharge and personally, it felt like someone put a mirror on the inside of the lens. I try very hard not to utilize that lens, but it had been handy when someone needs a discounted-rush-out of RCH stock range- blue option. These are usually kids that all of the sudden are headed to an out of state school tomorrow... priorities.

    It's the only lens that I'm able to order as stock=cheaper for myself due to the fact that I've got a higher cyl. Plus I need a reason to test out a set of their lens.

    Another Essilux Company for what it's worth

    If you're talking about the house brand, don't use the standard. Get the premium. The standard is not worth selling even for a reduced price. You're better off selling the Premium at a good price.
