I am getting new frames, I want to know If I should go with FeatherWates® Completes or Essilor Airwear with Crizal Alize. The lens crafters are a little more money, but are they worth it? Help Please

No comment. :finger:
I am just a consumer, I need professional opinion.
Thanks
are you getting these both at Lenscrafters?
Nope, I got my last lenes at LenCrafters. I have no complaints, but I went to a local opt and they supply the Essilor Airwear with Crizal Alize. That lens is also AR.
Thanks
These days you dont even know if not both are from the same source, just named.boxed and packaged differently.Originally Posted by josh684
Private lablelling is very common................same product sold under 5 different names or more.
I don't know too much about what lens crafters sells but the alize coating is a dream. It makes your glasses so much easier to clean even with an anti-reflective coating. At Lenscrafters I think you pay extra for the 1 hour service.
I am not familar with the AR coat used by Lenscrafers. The Featherwate lens is just their name for their polycarb lens.
I do use the Essilor Airwear with Crizal and it is an excellent lens. The Crizal Alize is a great AR. It is considered to be one of the best available.
What warranty on the lenses is being offered? I know Lenscrafters has that 30 day money back thing going on, but I am talking down the road if the lenses are scratched. The Lenscrafters near me will not replace scratched lenses for free, there is a fee.
I think most places replace the Crizal Alize lenses free. You should ask both places.
Is this the complete with Scotchgard?
I think a couple of posts already hit the topic on the head.. Compare warranties, and see if someone can compare the two coatings for you. They are both produced by Essilor...

<Groan> I know we have "Teflon" but now "Scotchguard" too? <Groan>
Scotchguard? LoL You have to be kidding me. If your glasses are made of carpeting you may want that, but since we are dealing with clear plastics, I would stick with the Alize'.Originally Posted by drk
Personal opinion: The only glasses that should be made out of Polycabonate are these http://www.foodservicedirect.com/ind...e_Tumblers.htm

Adam, aren't you currently marketing your Round Seg 22 in poly transitions?Originally Posted by Cherry Optical
Adam,
I was told that the 10 drilled rimless frames I purchased from you had poly lenses in them also. :finger:
Hey guys Scotchgard is the newest lens available at Lenscrafters . What it is is crizal repackaged for LC . These guys are in deep with Essilor it has been obvious for some time . Oh well what are ya gonna do it was bound to happen.Oh yeah and it is poly by the way.Originally Posted by Cherry Optical
Having seen the packaging of the stock lenses in the Lens Crafters lab, I'm conviced the Scotchguard lenses are the Alize.
I think what consumers don't realize is this. Featherwate Completes are Crizal Alize on a polycarb lens without any warranty (thanks to Lens Crafters awful breakage/scratch warranties). Crizal Alize through your independent OD/MD/Optical are warranted against scratches.
I work at a Lens Crafters 3 days/week and at my private office 2 days/week. I'm constantly amazed by what people pay for stuff with no frame warranty or no scratch warranty.
Having seen the packaging of the stock lenses in the Lens Crafters lab, I'm conviced the Scotchguard lenses are the Alize.
Being familiar with the manufacturing and supply-chain for both products, I can assure you Scotchguard lenses are not a repackaged Crizal Alize.

You definitely don't want to use acetone, hairspray, or paint thinner. Not only do they damage the glasses, the taste will kill you.

hmmm.
Nah, you have me mixed with someone else. Instaed of the RD22 PC Trans, we came out with a 1.67 Double Segment. Market is strong for that lens. We also have a 14x35 Polycarbonate Transitions Splitz lens. I figure that one will be a hot seller.Originally Posted by For-Life

LoL! You can purchase whatever you want from me, so long as you pay your bill on time. I actually have no idea what you are talking about, but if you would have ordered TVX in those drilled frames, you would have saved $100.
You order it, I make it, you pay for it. I can only supply what people order. I do however make strong suggestions in may cases.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the two compared to one another (Alize vs scotchgard?). Are they at least similar, or are they completely different? It would seem that the marketing LC has offered on the new scotchgard lens show that it has similar properties to the Alize, SHV or Carat.
