Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ Lenses: A Solution for Digital Screen Users
Posted: 03/08/2023
Could you have Digital Eye Strain?
With the rise of digital devices, many people now spend hours each day staring at screens. While this technology offers numerous benefits, it has also brought about an increase in cases of digital eye strain, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Digital eye strain can lead to symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and neck or shoulder pain.
The cause of digital eye strain lies in the extended periods of time we spend focusing on screens, which demands a different visual effort compared to looking at objects in the physical world, and of course this can affect children and young adults - not just those of us already needing help with age-related reading issues. Traditional lenses, designed for general-purpose vision correction, are not optimised to address the specific needs of digital device users.
Introducing Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ Lenses
Hoya, a leading global optical company, recognised this growing issue of digital eye strain and responded with an innovative solution - Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses. These lenses are an addition to their portfolio of lenses for screen use with older adults. Sync III are specifically designed to provide relief from digital eye strain for a younger age group and offer a relieving and comfortable visual experience. There’s no need to swap glasses when not using a screen as they can also be used for everyday activities.
What makes Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses different?
- Digital Zone Optics: The lower portion of Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses is equipped with Digital Zone Optics, which is tailored to accommodate the visual demands of digital device usage. This design eases eye strain by providing a smooth transition from near to intermediate vision, making it more comfortable to view digital screens for extended periods.
- Hoya Free-Form Technology: Hoya's advanced Free-Form Technology ensures that the lenses are personalised to the individual wearer's prescription and the frame they choose. This customisation ensures a more precise correction, reducing distortions and maximizing visual clarity.
- Blue Light Filtration: Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses also come with a Blue Light Filter coating. This special coating helps to reduce the amount of high-energy blue light emitted by digital screens, which can contribute to eye strain and disrupt sleep patterns.
- Lens Material Options: Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses are available in different materials, including high-index and ultra-thin options, providing wearers with choices that suit their preferences and lifestyle.
The Benefits of Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ Lenses
Embracing Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses can lead to a host of advantages for those who frequently use digital devices or suffer from digital eye strain:
- Enhanced Visual Comfort: The specialised design of Hoya Sync lenses reduces eye strain and fatigue, offering a more comfortable and enjoyable visual experience.
- Clear Vision at All Distances: The digital zone optics ensure smooth transitions between near and intermediate vision, allowing wearers to see clearly at all distances.
- Reduced Blue Light & UV Exposure: The Blue Light Filter coating protects the eyes from harmful blue light emitted by digital screens, promoting eye health as well as a protective UV filter to block harmful rays.
- Customised Precision: With Hoya Free-Form Technology, each pair of lenses is personalised, providing wearers with accurate and distortion-free vision.
In Conclusion
Hoya Sync ΙΙΙ lenses have quickly gained popularity for their ability to alleviate digital eye strain and provide a clear and comfortable visual experience for the under 45 age group. As we continue to rely on digital devices in our daily lives, investing in eyewear that addresses the specific challenges posed by the digital age becomes increasingly crucial.
