Exciting Developments in Vision Care: HOYA Unveils Sensity® 3
HOYA Vision Care, a pioneering company in the eyeglass lens industry, has just announced the launch of its latest innovation: Sensity® 3 lenses. These new light-adaptive lenses have been designed with enhanced features that cater specifically to patients' growing desires for durability and consistent color performance over time.
Addressing Patient Needs
In response to feedback from both patients and optometrists, HOYA’s engineering team has developed Sensity® 3 lenses to meet these needs effectively. The new lenses offer up to
four times greater resistance to fatigue compared to the leading competitor, which means they will maintain their performance and clarity over many years of use. This is particularly important for those who rely on photochromic lenses for both indoor and outdoor visibility and comfort.
In testing simulating
two years of normal wear, these lenses demonstrated a significantly improved
fade back speed—
25% faster than the previous generation of Sensity lenses. Such advancements ensure that the transition between dark and light environments is seamless for wearers, enhancing their overall experience.
Key Advantages of Sensity® 3
The Sensity® 3 lenses are not just about performance; they are designed for aesthetic and protective benefits as well. Here’s a look at the standout features:
- - Longer Activation Life: With a focus on minimizing reaction fatigue, Sensity® 3 offers reliable darkening and fading capabilities, providing consistent performance across the lens’s lifespan.
- - Color Stability: In an impressive feat, these lenses boast color stability that is up to four times more stable under similar UV exposure conditions than those offered by a leading competitor. This means that the lenses maintain a consistent color shade even after extended use, ensuring satisfaction for wearers over time.
- - Enhanced Clarity and Protection: Designed to reduce blue light exposure both indoors and outdoors, Sensity® 3 lenses offer Category 3 outdoor performance along with superb indoor clarity. They also provide 100% UVA and UVB protection, making them an excellent choice for protective eyewear.
Available Options
The Sensity® 3 lenses are offered in a selection of vibrant natural colors including
Silver Grey, Bronze Brown, Emerald Green, and
Oceanic Blue. Various materials are available, including polycarbonate for added durability.
Additionally, these lenses are compatible with HOYA's premium progressive and single vision designs. They can also be paired with all of HOYA's anti-reflective treatments, including the highly durable
Super HiVision® Meiryo® EX4™, known for its scratch resistance and clarity.
Expert Recommendations
Manisa Wozniak, the Global Head of Product Category Management at HOYA, emphasized the significance of these advancements for eye care professionals. “With Sensity® 3's durability, leading color stability, and improved fade back speed, HOYA is now offering the best photochromic package,” she stated.
This alignment of product capabilities with patient expectations not only enhances the overall user experience but also gives eye care professionals a competitive edge in the market when it comes to dispensing photochromics.
