HOYA
HOYA’s sun solutions include Sportive, Sensity range, polarised, mirror, light mirror, and HiVision Sun Pro premium sun lens coatings.
Hoya Sportive lenses are designed specifically for larger and high curved fashion and sport sunglass frames.
Sensity photochromatic lenses include Sensity 2, Sensity Fast, as well as Sensity Dark and Sensity Shine, which both deliver extra darkness outdoors and behind car windows.
Sensity Shine has a subtle mirror coating when unreacted, which transforms to a mirror lens in the sun.
Sensity Fast (pictured) is the fastest light adaptive lens available,1 designed to address your patients’ biggest pain point of slow fade back speed when going indoors, fading back to clear in seconds.2
HOYA’s mirror collection comprises three full mirror coatings (in gold, silver, and blue), and four light mirror coatings (blue, silver, copper, and violet).
Hi-Vision Sun Pro improves the appearance of prescription sunglass lenses by eliminating unwanted colour reflections on the front surface. This makes the prescription sunglasses look more like the original plano pair tried on by the customer in store.
