Zeiss & Hoya make good lenses. Both also have expertise in photography equipment and they have their own coatings, so they're also a plus. Their lenses might not come cheap, though.
I also used Japanese Tora and French Essilor Crizal lenses (cylindrical, not progressives), and they had good resolution with superb coatings.
Currently I'm using a domestic lens with blue filter, and my eyes are happier than ever.
My mother uses progressives. A bad progressive is a life quality reducing expense, so paying the price for a good lens pays in dividends over the short and long run.
