Crizal Easy vs Alize vs other AR

I'm ordering a pair of glasses online and it gives me the option to get standard AR, Super Hydrophobic AR, Crizal Easy, Crizal Alize, Crizal Advance, Crizal Sapphire, and Crizal Prevencia.

I've read that Advance, Sapphire, and Prevencia have various color tint which I want to avoid.

Will I be alright with the AR offered by the lens producers, or should I go with Crizal?

If Crizal will make that much of a difference, should I go with the Easy or Alize? Is there a huge difference? Will Easy or Alize add a tint to the lenses?

Thanks in advance!

Hey there. You’re a chef at a 1 Michelin Star restaurant. Which TV dinner tastes the closest to what you make?

That said, I love the Crizal Sapphire.

Honestly, we professionals cannot recommend anyone doing anything online. Just to save that quick $ introduces things that can go wrong.

As for the lens type, its probably up to personal preference. Lens tint for example prevencia has a slight yellowish tint on vision. But from experience it tends to be not noticeable after awhile. Im sure you can google the different types of lenses and make your decision

Realistically what could go wrong ordering online? I have my full prescription plus the pupil distance.

The fact that they have bad quality checks. Just because you type in one prescription does not mean you are going to get that prescription.

If I bring them to my optometrist they should be able to make sure they're correct, no?

Frame adjustment yes, but if the lenses are not correctly centred it will need to be remade. And since you didnt purchase the spectacles from your optometrist, there may be a service charge too. Total cost might even be the same if you just purchased from your optom and saved the hassle of buying online.

Poor centration of the lens will induce prism. You have no way to check if the lens are on your pupillary axis. Frame adjustments- pantoscopic tilt, fit adjustment for example
