Miyosmart Sun
Spectacle Lenses

Hoya Vision Care has launched the Miyosmart sun range. The photochromic spectacle lenses, Miyosmart Chameleon; and polarised spectacle lenses, Miyosmart Sunbird, were developed to slow down myopia progression in children using D.I.M.S. Technology, while providing protection from intense sunlight.1-4 These two new products, along with the Miyosmart clear spectacle lenses which launched in 2018, give children the freedom to comfortably take part in the activities they enjoy indoors and outdoors without compromising their eyesight.

Miyosmart Chameleon and Miyosmart Sunbird both provide protection from intense sunlight, while simultaneously correcting the myopic refractive error and slowing myopia progression.1-4 The new spectacle lenses use the same D.I.M.S. Technology used in the award-winning5,6 and non-invasive Miyosmart clear spectacle lenses, shown to slow myopia progression by 60% in children aged 8 to 13.7 Due to the Hoya photochromic lens technology, Miyosmart Chameleon is an all-in-one solution to myopia management and protected outdoor activity.2-4 It rapidly adapts to the level of sunlight and fades back to clear indoors quickly.3 Meanwhile, Miyosmart Sunbird is the ideal addition to Miyosmart clear spectacle lenses, for extra protection from intense sunlight and glare.1,8 It also offers vibrant colours and rich contrast in bright light, allowing children to fully experience the beauty of outdoors.9

Alongside the launch of the Miyosmart sun range, Hoya Vision Care will launch “protect how they see the world”, a global campaign to raise awareness of the importance of outdoor time and sun protection in children. Spending time outdoors may slow down myopia progression in children,10,11 and as such it is the most common recommended behavioural management for myopia given by eye care professionals.12 However, as the majority of lifetime sun exposure occurs under the age of 21, it is necessary to prevent long-term eye damage to children’s eyes with effective and reliable sun protection.8,13,14 Thisis particularly important for myopic children using atropine eye drops for myopia management, and those who are light-sensitive.15-17 Since 2018, two million patients in over 30 countries have benefited from wearing Miyosmart spectacle lenses.18

Varilux XR Series

EssilorLuxottica’s scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence and combined it with their understanding of consumer lifestyles to create the best overall progressive lens,* the Varilux XR series. Having studied over 6,500 consumers to enrich their understanding of presbyopes’ lifestyles and visual challenges, the Group gathered over one million data to develop a breakthrough behavioural modelling system that predicts how presbyope individuals will look at objects around them.

Varilux XR series wearers benefit from instant sharpness, even in motion, with up 49% more vision volume** compared with the Varilux X series. In independent third-party tests, 87% of consumers, mostly wearing premium progressive lens, preferred Varilux XR series to their previous lenses after trying them, with no change in their prescription.***
And 95% of wearers adapted to their new lenses on the first day.

The Varilux XR series is an eco-designed progressive lens. With a new semi-finished lens, new in-lab processes, and a sustainable delivery kit for consumers, plastic consumption will be reduced by 19% compared with the Varilux X series, leading to a decrease of 6% in CO2 emissions.

*Eye-responsive is defined as the consideration of two parameters in the design of the progressive lens: prescription and common visual behaviour based on Essilor.
* Sources: As reported in Essilor R&D simulations, 2022, calculation based on lens measurements weighted by the level of importance of each criteria for progressive lenses declared by users (quantitative consumer study, Ipsos Q1 2022, BR/FR/IT/UK/US. n=4000 progressive lens wearers). Simulations done on most relevant global competitive brands: brands with good level of awareness among consumers (Consumer Lens Brand Tracking - Ipsos - Q3 2022 - BR/CA/CN/FR/IN/IT/UK/US - n=8000) & offering premium progressive lenses.
