Lenses
Advanced lens designs and superior coating technology . . .
Not all lenses are the same
It's common to consider all spectacle lenses as being equal, but this is certainly not the case, especially where coating durability, manufacturing process and lens characteristics are concerned. As with most things in life - with lenses, you really do get what you pay for . . .
Premium coating technology
With most lenses now being made from resin not glass, it's important to protect your investment with a good quality coating.
Our Premium lenses feature the most advanced multi-layer coatings currently available that include: Broadband Anti-reflection, scratch and abrasion resistance, oleophobic (grease repellent), hydrophobic (water resistant) and wipe-clean coatings.
Better clarity, more durable, easier to clean and up to a 3 Year Warranty
The toughest coating yet
Fresh from Hoya Visioncare is their new Meiryo coating technology.
Representing probably the toughest, most dirt resistant coating yet, with improved abrasion resistance and a greatly reduced bloom (The greenish blue reflection you sometimes see on coated lenses). Meiryo coatings are now available on a wide range of Hoya's premium coated lens products.
The thinnest lenses
No one should have to put up with thick, unsightly lenses anymore! Most of our lens options are available in high-index materials that are up to 40% thinner with a far flatter appearance; your lenses are lighter, look nicer and provide improved peripheral vision.
Better peripheral vision
With stronger prescriptions or higher degrees of astigmatism (irregular cornea surface), peripheral vision can be an real issue. We offer a wide range of specially manufactured bi-aspheric lenses that compensate for your prescription by subtly altering the power across the lens surface in all directions.

Glare reduction for drivers
Don't you just hate the glare from oncoming headlights?
We now offer a range of highly specialised driving lenses, featuring the latest technology that disrupts and deflects glare.
Feed back from wearers has been quite astonishing.
Available in distance only or varifocal options.
Colour change lenses
A popular compromise instead separate prescription sunglasses are our lenses that constantly react to the lighting conditions around you. Available as an option on most of our lenses, you can choose between our regular or extra dark reaction options and select from up to seven different colours; so the lenses match your frame colour, when darkened.
Ultimate colour change lens
Introducing the World's first colour-change lens that is also polarised. Combining the benefits of light intelligent lenses and dynamic polarization, Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses deliver sharper vision, more vivid colours and a larger field of view outdoors. Available on selected single vision and varifocal lenses.
State-of-the-art manufacturing
Many of our lenses are now manufactured using advanced digital milling techniques rather than surfacing or cast moulding. This is of particular relevance for our personalised varifocal lenses where the technology allows each lens to be uniquely designed and manufactured for each patient.

See everything, everywhere
Remember bifocals? with the little piece in the bottom of the lens. Varifocals work in a similar way; you look down to read. However, unlike bifocals, there's no visible segment and you benefit from some middle distance vision as you look down; an ideal option for those who would rather wear just one pair of glasses.
Varifocal lenses
When you're feed up with separate pairs or just starting out with your first reading prescription . . .
Wider is always better
Not all varifocal lenses are the same. Older cast-moulded lenses may be cheaper but they pale into comparison when compared to the latest, personalised, digitally milled varifocals.
You'll experience wider fields of vision, more natural, balanced vision and you'll find them far easier to get used to.

Visual modelling
When you order a pair of personalised varifocals from us you'll notice we take a lot more measurements than you've probably been used to. This extra information is used to build up a virtual model of your visual system to enable the design and manufacture of lenses that are unique to you.
To summarise - the combined technologies and benefits of our personalised varifocal lenses . . .

Task-specific lenses
It's quite common to find your reading glasses are too strong for tasks at arms length, like computer work, meetings, craft work, cooking, DIY or gardening. Fortunately there's a solution . . .
Comfortable middle distance clarity
Our task-specific lenses are a distant relative to varifocals except, the upper distance vision zone is replaced with your middle distance prescription. This provides you with a wide field of vision for screen work and other tasks and the extra reading boost when you look down for close up tasks.
Our best ever task-specific lens
It is often clear, after a discussion with you, that more than just normal is required. Our iD Workstyle task-specific lenses from Hoya are personalised to your specific vision requirements which means you'll get the very best indoor vision tailored to your individual working and wearing conditions.
Lenses for the digital age
We're all using mobiles, tablets and digital display screens more than ever and it's having an effect on our eyes.
Tired eyes
Our eyes and visual system have yet to catch up with all this close up staring at digital screens. Accumulated mild eyestrain and the associated headaches and discomfort are the result. Whatever your age, this additional eyestrain can be alleviated with our enhanced single vision lenses.
Fit for the digital age
Our Eyezen lenses provide a natural boost to your vision when viewing your mobile, tablet or a display screen. This boost helps your eyes relax allowing you to spend more time doing the things you love. Watch the video and see . . .
Suitable for everyone
The unique Eyezen focus and dualoptim technology has been rigorously tested and proven to help meet today's visual requirements. Even if you do not normally wear glasses, you can still enjoy the benefits of Eyezen enhanced single vision lenses.
Specialist lenses
When you prescription is a little more complex or you simply require a specialist solution . . .
Enhanced driving experience
Struggling with glare when driving? or are you feeling blinded by headlights at night time? Our EnRoute Pro lenses are designed specifically to break down the glare and provide a more comfortable visual experience when driving.
Available in single vision or varifocals . . .
Complex or traditional
Apart from our extensive range of modern advanced lenses, we also cater for glasses wearers wanting a more traditional approach using bifocals or trifocals. For complex prescriptions, with high amounts of prism or ultra high prescriptions, our specialist suppliers provide a bewildering array of specialist lens options.
