HOYA Vision Care Australia & New Zealand Launches New Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond Coating
The launch of HOYA’s most advanced premium lens coating, Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond, offers spectacle wearers superior clarity that lasts even longer.
Sydney, Australia – Today, HOYA Vision Care Australia & New Zealand, a leader in optical technology innovation, announced the launch of Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond, the company’s most advanced premium coating. It is the latest addition to HOYA’s coatings range and delivers exceptional clarity that lasts longer, reflecting the company’s leadership and reputation in the coatings category.
The benefits of anti-reflective coatings are well known in the optical industry. They include glare-reduction, scratch resistance, anti-static, water repellent properties and many others. With the launch of this new coating, HOYA has elevated these features to a higher level, ensuring outstanding quality not only on day one of purchasing the spectacles but for the length of their prescription and beyond.
The new Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond coating offers extreme protection against scratches, smudges, glare, and UV while providing the wearer with ultimate clarity, so spectacle wearers can be confident that they are prepared for any unexpected situation.
Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond has 56% lower reflectance1, maintains easy to clean features that last up to 5x longer2, and its scratch resistance is 2.5 x better3 than the major competitors’ best coating. Spectacle wearers can enjoy the low maintenance their lenses require and worry less about the lenses being scratched by accident. With 100% UV protection on the front and extra protection on the back surface of the lens4, spectacle wearers are protected from harmful ultraviolet rays outdoors.
“This coating has undergone a testing protocol for quality, passing the severe tests which provide patients with the HOYA quality guarantee for long-lasting, anti-reflective coatings that exceed expectations”, said Griff Altmann, CTO, HOYA Vision Care. “It also offers them the confidence that their lenses will maintain their properties over time and are able to endure many conditions and various lifestyles.”
Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond will replace Diamond Finish UV Control coating in all HOYA Grind lenses. It will be available in Clear, Tinted, Sensity 2, Sensity Fast, Sensity Dark and Polarised.
Eye Care Professionals should consult their HOYA Sales Consultant for more information and for complete product availability.
