Integrated Double Surface Design.

Like  fingerprints, no two eyes are exactly the same. The correction to  restore and enhance one’s vision should be equally unique, so we  developed the first Free-Form Design technology to analyze each eye’s  specific rotation and correction requirements. Our patented Integrated Double Surface Design (IDSD) then shapes both sides of the lens, designing the vertical component, which affects magnification and distance, into the front, and the horizontal component, which affects  the power changes from side to side, into the back.

All other  progressive lens designs limit the vertical and horizontal design components to the same side of the lens. Only HOYA customizes the lens  on both sides for a personalized vision correction.

The HOYALUX iD MyStyle®

The HOYALUX iD MyStyle® represents the pinnacle of design personalization among all HOYA Free- Form progressive lenses. Utilizing objective and subjective data collected through a detailed patient consultation, the end result provides the perfect blend of the patients’ personal visual needs and wants.

Patient Benefits

- Natural, effortless vision at all distances and all directions
- Stable image perception in all circumstances
- Wide, deformation-free field of vision
- Smooth and natural interaction

HOYALUX iD InStyle™

The HOYALUX iD InStyle™ customizes the lens with design elements distributed over both the front and back surfaces for a finely tuned vision correction. When both elements are integrated on to the lens surfaces using HOYA Free-Form surfacing, the result is a more optimized and customized progressive lens.

Patient Benefits

- Virtually eliminates the “swimming” and “swaying” sensations so common with conventional progressive lenses
- Perfect transition between far and near vision
- Wide intermediate corridor

HOYALUX iD LifeStyle®

The HOYALUX iD LifeStyle® utilizes Integrated Double Surface TechnologyTM (iDs) that partially customizes the lens configuration using a standardized front surface component and a customized back surface component. HOYA’s Free- Form fabrication shapes the back of each lens with a diamond point cutting tool for semi-personalized progressive vision correction.

Patient Benefits

- Separates the performance of the front and back surfaces with vertical progression on the front and customized horizontal progression on the back
- Eliminates swimming sensations

SingleVision iQ

SingleVision iQ combines a spherical front surface single vision lens with HOYA Free-Form custom back surface for enhanced optical performance and superior, expanded periphery viewing. SingleVision iQ lenses provide a better single vision solution, especially for wearers with higher prescriptions and/or astigmatisms. Wearers benefit from:

Patient Benefits

- Lens optimized for all prescription powers to enhance visual acuity
- Provides clear vision from edge to edge a wider, clearer visual field in all directions of sight
- Noticeably reduced distortion, especially in peripheral viewing areas
