Both are equally fine. Just see which is more convenient for you!
It is a full comprehensive check so know that it will take longer than the usual eye tests in optical shops.

Depending on your Prescription and the Size of your frame. If based on lens type, Nulux Ep will be better.

Made a new pair of glasses yesterday but still having headache. Is it because of unequal increase in lenses powers. 0.75 D and 2 D. It's still under prescribed by about 1.25 D .:eek:

Airwear material (polycarbonate) has pretty poor optics, some wearers experience blurness even when using same degree after switching to airwear.

Unless really necessary or you're already on polycarbonate material, i wont suggest using this material.

Alternative impact resistance lenses would be Trivex (Impact resistance & superior optics)

Not following the prescription lens tech/innovation.

But what are the top tier lens maker/series recently?

I’ve been using Zeiss Single Vision Individual currently, one with blue protect, one without (using this only when editing photos or need color accuracy task). And also a Zeiss Digital on my old glasses.

From a neutral standpoint. Zeiss is still the best for single vision.

Hoya for progressives.
