Hey Audrey,
Regarding the crizal lenses that you are not sure what was it, i believe it's the airwear series, which is the polycarbonate material for the lenses.
Meant for individuals doing sports e.g. ball games and all, as the lenses are more impact resistance. However the clarity of the lenses though are not as sharp as the other indexes.
So what are these index 1.5,1.53,1.6,1.67,1.74?
In layman terms, its the thickness of the lenses. The higher the value, the thinner the lenses. Thats why individuals with higher degree are often recommended to use higher index lenses. But that does not mean someone with -1.00 degree can use a 1.67 lens, as certain index of lenses have a minimum degree to start off with e.g. 1.67 iirc starts at -3.00 unless you specially customized the lens which would cost more!!
Eyezen is basically an antifatigue lenses whereby the power at the lower half of your lenses is reduced by about +0.8 degree. E.g. your degree is -4.25, the lowest part of your lenses the power will be around -3.40 to -3.50. The reduction is believe to help your eyes relax when doing near work e.g. document reading/computer. Other brands anti fatigue lenses that i know of is Zeiss(energize me Or Zeiss digital lens), Hoya(trueform nulux active(what i am using now)(i'm also below 30
) , Shamir(shamir relax). It comes with a blue filter coating, or in other brands e.g. blue control, blue protect, blue glacier zero.
Hoya lenses that you werent sure why was the price suddenly higher is because of the coating. Hoya stellify is using the HVP coating which is an older version whereas the new one that you saw is using the HVLL coating which is more resistant in many aspects e.g. dirts, scratches and all compared to HVP(stellify).
So regarding your Qns...
52= the size of your lens (length)
18=bridge(Distance between your lenses)
140= Your temple length, the long part which holds the spectacle from the hinge to your eye.
130=probably the colour code/model code of your frame.
Q1) Based on the spectacles frame size above, and my eyes degree, I intend to take Crizal Eye Zen, 1.67 at $350, do you think you can tell if the lens will come out as bulky?
ANS: A 52size lens when edged out might be alittle thick at the side But coupled with a 1.67 index lenses, it should look fine honestly so i believe it will not be too thick as long as the edger(one cutting your lenses) knows how to guide the edging(cutting proccess) of your leneses. Dont worry! But just curious, is your frame very thin? If it is thin then you will surely see some lens thickness protruding for sure. (Frame thin meaning , the frame front)
Q2) What would you say about Crizal Eye Zen? (Hoya is sooooo expensive, although I feel like using this brand... trust the Japanese lol, but do not wish to spend over $350 for the lens because what if I need to change spectacles in a few years again)
ANS: For hoya, their version of Crizal eye zen is the trueform nulux active or also known as hoya REMARK(last time), for zeiss it would be their Energize me lenses. Hoya is surely more expensive due to their coating quality(imo) and also their clarity. I am using a Hoya(anti fatigue lens) too. If you do not wish to spend that much then Eyezen would be able to serve you well!
Q3) As I also do graphic design works (stare at computer a lot), I understand objects will become yellowish color when I see with blue light coating lens. Wonder if people or your customers have express their concerns with colors after wearing it and what would you say or advise to them? Neighbourhood optometrist actually told me to think about it[/QUOTE]
ANS: Ah.. the comment dilemma, yellowish or not. Depending on your own individual preferences, many designers(interior/graphics) opt not to do get the blue filter lenses as they feel their colour perception is being changed. Some still do though...But good news for you is that, you can actually request for the Lenses be ordered without the blue filter coat. But IIRC, essilor eyezen recently cannot be ordered this way. My Hoya trueform nulux active comes without the blue filter and i have order for customers, zeiss digital lenses and energize me without blue filter too. So your worries can be resolved!
So hope these informations helped, and please correct me if i'm wrong guys!
Thanks!
