Does anyone know if the various brands of lens matters, e.g. Nikon v Hoya v Carl Zeiss...
I have pretty bad vision, -9.0 and astigmatism so the optometrist recommend I get 1.74 high index lenses from Nikon [1], because according to him, it would be "harder/more impact resistant" and the quality would be better.
I also got additional coatings, like anti-reflective, blue light, UV, etc...
So I'm just wondering, if the brand actually matters or are they also all made by a single large factory? Are Nikon lenses that much better than the generic ones from Warby Parker?
