The quality of a lens material can only be proven in combination with its treatments. Hoya is a world leader in the application of the highest quality lens coatings.
Hoya’s anti-reflection coating is a treatment applied to lenses to eliminate surface reflections, therefore enhancing the appearance of your lenses. The anti-reflection layer also allows more light to pass through the lens, ensuring an improved quality of vision. Finally, the smoothness of the top layer makes the lenses much easier to clean.
Optimum performance of lenses only occurs when the coatings are perfectly integrated with the lens itself. Hoya has established itself as a market leader in this respect. All of our scratch-resistant and anti-reflection coatings are known for their durability, high transmission values and easy-to-clean surfaces.
Hoya coatings:
A scratch-resistant layer that considerably lengthens the life-span of the lens.
Hoya Hard is one of the most successful innovations of the ophthalmic world: a scratch-resistant silicone coating for plastic lenses. It is partly because of this application that Hoya is considered a world class lens manufacturer. Hoya Hardis a customised scratch resistant coating, tailored to the specific index of Hoya’s lenses. Available to order as an application, or as standard on most of Hoya’s premium products, Hoya Hard also forms the base coat for all our Anti-Reflection multicoatings.
Hoya has a global reputation in the application of high quality coatings, even on the most difficult of materials.
Hoya’s Hi Vision Aqua coating is an anti-reflection layer with a light transparency of at least 99%. Hi-Vision Aqua is also water-repellent, it has a water contact angle of 110° which means that water droplets cannot stick to the lens surface. In practice, this means that the field of vision remains free of water droplets, even when walking in the rain. Another advantage is the fact that condensation is reduced when moving between temperatures.
The primary advantages of Hi Vision Aqua:
- Index Matched Hard Coat Tailored for each specific index to ensure stability
- Increases Light Transmission to 99%
- Allows more light to reach the eye, minimising surface reflections
- Tough, Durable and Reliable Water repellent and scratch resistant
- Aesthetically Attractive Natural green reflex colour
