IT System Incident Update

*Updated on April 24, 2024*

 

As we previously shared, at the end of March we learned that the Hoya Group and some business divisions, including Hoya Vision Care, experienced an IT system incident affecting some of our operations. In keeping with our commitment to transparency, we wanted to provide an update on the progress we have made in restoring Hoya Vision Care systems and operations.

 

Our restoration process of Hoya Vision Care systems affected by the incident is substantially complete and the majority of affected labs are now open. We are, however, experiencing slight delays as we work through backlogs and hope to get back to our standard delivery schedule as soon as possible.

 

We recognize you may have questions about the incident and, as part of our commitment to transparency and customer service, below you may find answers to frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please contact us and a member of our dedicated team working on this issue will get back to you.
