- Progressive Lenses
Hoya ID - Hoya ID is the first fully customized
progressive lens, designed using IDSD technology and shaped to
the specific rotation of your eyes. The more you rely on your
glasses, the more you’ll appreciate the ID lens.
HOYA’s Free-Form design approach is based on the understanding
that no two eyes are the same. Hoya's patented Integrated Double
Surface Design (IDSD) technology maps the specific rotation of
each eye, creating the blueprint for lens construction. HOYA
Free-Form Fabrication then uses diamond point tools to shape
both sides of the lens to the exact specifications of your eye
rotation.
Progressive lens designs have always restricted the vertical and
horizontal design components to the same side of the lens. HOYA
is the first to customize the lens on both sides, creating a
truly personalized vision correction.
Hoya's patented Integrated Double Surface Design (IDSD) process
shapes the vertical component (which affects magnification and
distance) into the front of the lens, and the horizontal
component (which affects the power changes from side to side)
into the back. The two surfaces are then integrated using
Balanced View Control, and Hoya's computer vision evaluation
analyzes and corrects any Skew Deformation, ensuring the
clearest vision in all directions.
Lifestyle - The Lifestyle lens offers a semi-personalized
progressive design, with the prescription partially shaped on
the front and fully customized on the back to provide a
noticeably clearer view in every direction.
Like the ID, the Lifestyle lens utilizes HOYA Free-Form Design
technology to analyze eye rotation in order to map a unique lens
design. Hoya's Integrated Double Surface Design (IDSD) partially
customizes the lens configuration using a standardized front
surface component and a customized back surface component.
HOYA’s Free-Form Fabrication then shapes the back of each
Lifestyle lens with diamond point cutting tools for a
semi-personalized vision correction.
While IDSD is used to completely customize the ID lens, the
Lifestyle lens features a standardized vertical component molded
onto the front surface and a custom design shaped into the
horizontal component on the back of the lens. Even with only
partial customization, Lifestyle lenses provide a more
personalized vision correction than any other design in the
world.
Available in 2 fittings platforms:
•HOYALUX iD LifeStyle: 18mm minimum fitting height
•HOYALUX iD LifeStyle cd: 14mm minimum fitting height for
smaller frames
Summit CD - Prior to Free Form technology, Summit CD was
the first progressive lens to make smaller, more fashionable
frames possible.
Computers and virtual reality software once designed lenses so
advanced they couldn’t be made, because the technology to
produce them didn’t exist yet. HOYA developed the Summit family
of progressive lenses during this era, including the Summit ECP,
and the Summit CD (compressed design), which incorporated the
ECP design into smaller frames.
HOYA's patented Integrated Transmittance Control (ITC)
Technology utilizes a 3-D virtual computer model to evaluate
multiple visual criteria and deliver the clearest, most
comfortable vision possible with traditional surfacing
technology.
ITC Technology evaluates:
•Prescription power (plus or minus)
•How distance from lens to eye impacts focal powers
•How frame and lens are positioned relative to the eye
•Depth perception and how eyes work together
Available in 2 fittings platforms:
•The Summit ecp has a recommended minimum fitting height of 18
mm
•The Summit cd has a recommended minimum fitting height of 14 mm
GP Wide - The GP Wide lens was HOYA’s original
breakthrough in expanding the reading zone. And it still fits
into smaller, more fashionable frames.
Progressive lens wearers often focus their complaints on the
width of their reading and intermediate zones, especially if
they have higher prescriptions. The GP Wide was designed
specifically for those who spend a lot of time reading or
working at arm’s length, expanding the intermediate and reading
zones of the lenses.
Transmission Based Design simulates vision to project how
clearly images will appear through every point on the lens.
Horizontal Asymmetry is also incorporated to balance the clear
areas of the lens, improving peripheral vision and minimizing
the sensation of “swim” often associated with older progressive
designs.
Combining these technologies broadens the intermediate and near
zones, and reduces the size and intensity of the blur zones at
the edges of most progressive lenses.
- Single Vision
Nulux - The Nulux EP design provides clear vision from
edge to edge of the lens. HOYA’s IDSD technology is the first to
shape both sides of the lens to the specific rotation of your
eyes, so you can focus in all directions, not on your lenses.
HOYA’s Free-Form design approach is based on the understanding
that no two eyes are the same. Hoya's patented Integrated Double
Surface Design (IDSD) technology maps the specific rotation of
each eye, creating the blueprint for lens construction. HOYA
Free-Form Fabrication then uses diamond point tools to shape the
lens to the exact specifications of your eye rotation.
Conventional single vision lenses use a spherical front surface,
meaning the curvature is constant across the front. For low
power prescriptions this design produces acceptable visual
quality. But as the magnitude of power increases, distortions
appear, particularly at the edges of the lens.
Aspheric lenses are designed to neutralize such distortions,
with curvatures on the front of the lens changing from center to
edge. But up until now, aspheric designs have been based on
theoretical optical design, with little consideration for how
the eye actually moves. HOYA’s Nulux EP is the first aspheric
design to account for actual physiological functions like eye
movement, as well as the first to incorporate the prescription
into both sides of the lens.
Nulux - For higher prescriptions, peripheral vision can
be a problem. The Nulux design curves the front of the lens as
well as the back, reducing magnification and expanding clarity.
HOYA’s conventional aspheric lens design incorporates slight
curvature changes on the front surface to offset optical
distortions that appear on the periphery of moderate to high
power prescriptions.
Conventional single vision lenses utilize a spherical front
surface, meaning the curvature is constant all across the front
of the lens. For lower prescriptions this design produces
acceptable visual quality for the wearer. But as prescription
powers increase, distortions appear, reducing the quality of
vision particularly at the edges of the lens. Aspheric lenses
are designed to correct these distortions, as well as reduce the
magnification of the wearer’s eyes and significantly reduce the
bulge or thickness of a plus power lens (higher than +2.00D).
Hilux - For lower prescriptions, the HiLux lens offers a
more affordable design, shaped to HOYA’s exacting
specifications.
HiLux lenses are made using HOYA’s conventional spherical design
process for single vision lenses, which produces a consistent
curvature across the front surface.
Conventional single vision lenses use a spherical front surface,
meaning the curvature on the front is constant all across the
surface. For low power prescriptions this design produces
acceptable visual quality for the wearer.

Like fingerprints, no two eyes are exactly the same. The correction
to restore and enhance one’s vision should be equally unique, so we
developed the first Free-Form Design technology to analyze each
eye’s specific rotation and correction requirements. Our patented
Integrated Double Surface Design (IDSD) then shapes both sides of
the lens, designing the vertical component, which affects
magnification and distance, into the front, and the horizontal
component, which affects the power changes from side to side, into
the back.
All other progressive lens designs limit the vertical and horizontal
design components to the same side of the lens. Only HOYA customizes
the lens on both sides for a personalized vision correction.
Choosing a lens material for higher power prescriptions has always
been an exercise in sacrifice: Thinness versus performance, style
versus substance.
HOYA’s Phoenix material is so light it almost floats on water.
Developed using Trivex monomers, it is 19% lighter than standard
plastic and up to 8% lighter than polycarbonate. Quite simply,
Phoenix is the lightest-weight eyeglass lens material in the world.
Phoenix is also incredibly strong, formulated with superior tensile
strength to accommodate newer frames that have to be fitted with
screws or grooved for mounting hardware or straps.
Light, strong and very safe, Phoenix’s superior impact resistance
far exceeds the FDA’s standards for both dress eyewear and
industrial eyewear impact resistance standards. It is 60 times more
impact resistant than standard plastic lenses. Phoenix even provides
100% protection against damaging UV-A and UV-B light rays.
HOYA’s 1.70 lens material is not only exceptionally thin, it’s also
durable, and ideal for advanced vision correction. Our proprietary
1.70 high index material is up to 50% thinner and 30% flatter than
standard plastic lenses. In addition, the 1.70 material is
reflection-free, scratch resistant, UV protected, comfortably
lightweight, exceptionally strong, and of course, thin.
Your lenses are the windows to your world. All too often life's
activities add scratches and scrapes to your lenses. NOT WITH SHV
EX3! Now you can enjoy smooth lenses and sharp vision with the only
Anti Reflective that keeps pace with even the most active
lifestyles.
HOYA SHV EX3 enables 99.5% of light to pass through your lens and to
your eye. More light to the eye means you see better in office light
and while on the computer... good-bye eye fatigue. Plus your eyes
are more visible by eliminating annoying glare on your lenses.
Driving at night can pose a number of challenges for eyeglass
wearers. With HOYA SHV EX3 those blinding headlight and sign
reflections are diminished which makes night driving safer. And by
removing glare, vision is comfortable and clear.
Oily fingerprints drive lens wearers crazy and they ruin the clear
vision your glasses are meant to provide. Water can easily spot
normal lenses and contributes to a diminished view. Since dirt and
dust don't adhere to our lenses, cleaning is quick and easy.
Anti-reflective (AR) treatments reduce the annoying reflections and
eye fatigue eyeglass wearers experience. Unfortunately, AR
treatments have always scratched rather easily.
HOYA’s Super HiVision treatment virtually eliminates reflections and
glare while providing twice the scratch resistant protection of any
AR treatment available. Utilizing our proprietary technology called
Substrate Matching Properties (SMP), Super HiVision also allows the
highest light transmission possible through the lens, which
optimizes sight. Super HiVision lenses even feature HOYA’s
ViewProtect technology, providing a finish that makes cleaning
simple, yet almost never necessary, further extending the life of
your lenses. |
