EYEWEAR

It doesn’t matter how good an eye examination is in checking the health of your eyes or how accurate the prescription is in calculating the power of the lenses you need, if you don’t get the right frame or type of lens you will never see well as you should.

We firmly believe that each and everyone of us is an individual with different face shapes, sizes and visual requirements. So we have adopted a ‘Bespoke Dispensing Service’ lead by our 3 Fully qualified Dispensing Opticians and 1 student Dispensing Optician under supervision.

Hoya have been a partner to Eye Care Professionals for 80 years. At G.T. Harvey & Partners we use Hoya as our main lense supplier.

Below is additional information about some of the lens types mentioned in our introduction above:

SINGLE VISION LENSES

Hoya’s single vision lenses use advanced point-by-point Freeform technology for precise, high-performance vision. They’re available in standard or high-index materials to suit each prescription, and come with Hoya’s premium HiVision Longlife coating as standard.

ENHANCED SINGLE VISION LENSES

Enhance Single Vision lenses have a standard distance prescription with a subtle “boost zone” at the bottom to relax the eye muscles, making close-up focusing easier and reducing strain. They’re ideal for people aged 13–45 who use screens for more than 2 hours a day.

VARIFOCALS

Varifocals give clear vision at all distances, with a smooth transition from distance to reading. Hoya MySelf is Hoya’s top personalised varifocal, offering sharp, comfortable vision, easy adaptation, minimal blur and reduced swim and sway—ideal for everyday, dynamic use and digital devices.

UV BLOCKING LENSES

Hoya’s UV Control coating blocks 100% of UV from front and back, protecting eyes from damage and ageing. Supplied with HiVision Longlife for durability, it’s ideal for all, especially children and those in high-UV environments. Not recommended for tasks requiring precise colour.

ANTI REFLECTION LENS COATINGS

Anti-reflection coatings reduce glare, improve visual comfort, and let others see your eyes clearly. Ideal for screens and night driving, Hoya’s HiVision Longlife adds a durable, easy-to-clean, high-performance finish.
