    Prescription lenses.

    For years I've just went with Specsavers or similar standard glasses, maybe opted for thin versions and anti-scratch coatings etc.

    Got my eyes tested the other week and looking to get current glasses and the RayBan Meta's I got fitted with the new prescription.

    Rabbit hole got me looking and pricing Zeiss 'SmartLife Individual 3' lenses with Photofusion (their version of transition lens coating - but doesnt activate in a car).
    Come in at nearly £600-700 though.

    Whereas places like Lensology, Specsavers, Vision Express etc are about £300-350.

    Anyone used Zeiss premium lenses?
    Are they worth the price?
    Folk on YouTube saying its like going from SD to UHD for your vision. Some don't like it because it makes everything so sharp and feels like information overload on your eyes.

    • I used Zeiss for many years, First Essilor than Zeiss. the last one Premium. Maybe I had bad luck but those were the worst lenses I ever had.oey_oey
    • I bought them with all bells and whistles because I had good money at the time. After less than two years the coating was gone and the lenses were unusable.oey_oey
    • Biggest piece of shit ever for the money. I have Essilor again, One option under the most expensive. So far so good. Progressive glasses. 500€.oey_oey
    • Again I forgot that Meta stands for Smart Glasses, sorry.oey_oey
    • Decided to go lensology for lenses for the Meta's as they are a novelty. Likely get a better set of lenses in the future with new frames to alternate with.microkorg
