| Hoya goes digital with new TrueForm lens designs |
|
| Information from: 05.08.2010 Subject area: Product |
|
Hoya’s expertise with FreeForm technology is now being applied to its Hoyalux Summit Pro and CD to create TrueForm – a new range of digitised progressives with the security of a proven, respected, design.
“Real patient benefits of optimised visual perception, improved balance between distance and near vision, a sharper and wider field of vision are brought together in TrueForm. By applying the additional aberration correction along each line of sight, every lens can be optimised for each individual prescription, and the conventional dispensing and checking is a great plus,” said Steve Roberts, FBDO, Hoya Lens UK Product Manager.
Bringing all the proven benefits but with wider distortion free fields and optimised visual perception, the new lens options are ideal solutions for those wanting to upgrade from the conventional Hoyalux Summit Pro and CD designs.

| Hoya individualised lens wins optical product of the year |
|
| Information from: 20.04.2010 Subject area: Product |
|
Hoya’s premium individualised freeform lens has beaten off competition from other international optical products to win The OPTICIAN’s highly coveted OPTICAL PRODUCT OF THE YEAR.
The Hoyalux iD MyStyle, praised by opticians who choose to wear the lens, was singled out for its distortion-free vision at all zones, high levels of personalisation in lifestyle and fit, its wide field of vision, and virtually non-existent “swim effect”.
“The fact that so many opticians are opting to wear this lens themselves says it all. Practitioners are finding that even those patients with complex prescriptions, new varifocal wearers or those who have not been satisfied with varifocals before, are enjoying the benefits that this front and back surface freeform technology brings,” said Paul Bullock, Hoya’s Professional Services Manager.
“Hoyalux iD MyStyle is all about quality: quality of the lens, quality of the training that we provide in dispensing the lens, the quality of support for the optician and most importantly, the quality of the visual experience and level of satisfaction for the customer,” he added.
Available in a choice of indices, with Hi Vision LongLife AR Coating and a photochromic option, the lens was launched in January 2009 and is supported by the dispensing tool – MyStyle iDentifier and video measuring which links directly into Hoyalog, for seamless ordering.

| Thailand VSE Trip 2009 |
|
| Information from: 01.12.2009 Subject area: VSE |
|
Luxury was awaiting the VSE Gold Prize Draw winners, who attended the holiday of a lifetime – a magical trip to Thailand. The lucky VSE customers were all welcomed in Bangkok, staying in the 5 star palatial splendour of the Shangri-la Hotel, which offered easy access to superb shops and markets right on their doorsteps. Two fabulous day trips were arranged for Hoya guests, including an excursion on the Chao Phraya River of Kings and dinner with breathtaking views over Bangkok at the Vertigo Restaurant - giving the guests a slice of quintessential Thailand! The time in Bangkok also enabled a visit to Hoya’s largest lens manufacturing facility in the historical city of Ayutthaya. Mid-week, the VSE prize draw winners were transferred to a beach resort, with four nights on the idyllic island of Koh Samui. This was the perfect setting for a relaxing break in paradise, and a great way for us to say thank you for the excellent use of our premium products throughout the VSE promotion.
One guest exclaimed “An unbelievable experience! To give it full justice would require writing a book!”
The customers were supported throughout their time in Thailand by Hoya’s Managing Director Martin Batho and Hoya Area Sales Managers John Heritage and Paul Jones.
The VSE promotion, which ran from November 08 to July 09, allowed customers to turn their sales into incentive points. The motto ‘The more Hoya premium lenses you dispense the more points you will be awarded’, meant that all customers could earn an array of prizes including a Trip to New York, a Supercar driving experience, a pamper Spa day or a Marks and Spencer shopping spree!
We look forward to arranging the next magical trip of a lifetime! |
| NO PAIN NO GAIN, FUNDRAISING FOR CHILDREN IN NEED |

This year, Pudsey Bear asked us to “do something different” for Children In Need, so here at the Hoya factory in Wrexham, in addition to our usual annual activities we did something a little out of the ordinary.
For one day only, on Friday 20th November, our meeting room was transformed into a waxing studio (courtesy of Pinks nail bar and beauty salon) and 4 volunteers were strapped down and waxed for charity.
This year, through raffles, hampers, cake stalls and…waxing, Hoya employees were able to raise a fantastic £663.85 for Children In Need. Special thanks must go to our brave, smooth legged volunteers, Steve Davies, Steve Pickering, Jon Morris and Gary Harris for being such good sports on the day.
