How Your HOYA Lenses are Made
Quality lenses from top manufacturers perform better and last longer than typical retailer lenses. Below are a few of the many lens products we recommend.
Anti-reflective (AR or Non-glare)
Reduce the glare that causes eye fatigue. Time spent in front of a computer and in artificial lighting can create eye fatigue. In clinical studies, AR lenses were proven to dramatically reduce eye fatigue caused by reflections that cause glare. With ordinary lenses, headlights from other vehicles and city lights can create distracting images during night driving that stress your eyes. AR lenses dramatically reduce those annoying reflections while letting more light through the lens.Eye contact is important to human interaction. AR lenses greatly reduce the reflections others see on your glasses. Let them see you, not your lenses. Madeira Optical features Hoya Super HiVision, Crizal, Crizal Alize and Zeiss anti-reflective.
Aspheric Lenses
Advance optical grinding process that creates a lens surface that is lighter and thinner than standard plastic with less distortion as the wearer looks to the edge of the lens. Also reduces the soda bottle effect of eye magnification/minification. Perfect for those seeking superior optical performance throughout the lens.High Index Lenses Lighter and thinner lenses with thinner edge thickness that prevent the soda bottle effect. Perfect high prescriptions. Madeira Optical features Hoya high index lenses.
Photochromics
Lenses that change tint from almost clear to sunglass tints based on the amount of UV light hitting them. Perfect for people who engage in extended outdoor activity that do not want separate sunglasses. Madeira Optical features Transitions photochromics.

Progressives are multi-focal lenses that have areas of correction for reading, mid-distances and distance. Perfect for presbyopes who want the benefit of multiple focal distances with out lined bifocals or reading glasses.

It provides balanced correction at all distances and in all directions. No matter what correction power you need, you can be sure that a modern multifocal lens from Hoya will allow you to see clearly.
Spectralite Lenses
Light and thin mid index lens that provides better acuity for hyperopes while reducing the appearance of minification or magnification of the eye.
