Tried and Tested: Hoya Distortion-Free Optics

Fashion for minimalist eyewear ebbs and flows but few would deny that there is a solid group of wearers that value high quality spectacles but prefer the eyewear not to make a bold statement.

Everyone encounters those customers who say “I don’t want people to see that I am wearing glasses” and rimless has been the go to product. Until recently the pinnacle for minimalism was Hoya’s Pinfeel technology which mounted the frame using holes drilled into the edges of each lens. Hoya’s latest tilt at the ultra-minimalist market is Hoya DF,  Distortion Free Optics, using the Avantek mounting system.

Hoya DFuses modern edging technology to create a boss on the edge of the lens to which a variety of three piece frames can be fitted. The completed piece is marketed as distortion free as no drilling or pressure is placed on the lens.
