Designed to relieve the symptoms of digital eye strain and offer enhanced visual comfort in the latest version of Hoya Vision Care’s premium single vision lens, Sync III.
The company highlights research it had conducted which showed that many individuals spent an average of eight to 10 hours per day looking at digital screens, that could cause symptoms such as irritated eyes, blurred vision and sensitivity to light. The research said some of these symptoms could present in as little as two hours.
Sync III lenses have the distance power for everyday use and a choice of three boost zones at the bottom of the lens, optimised for the way patients use their eyes today. The boost zone has a slightly increased power, which helps the eye muscles relax and focus more easily, relieving eye strain and enhancing visual comfort throughout the day.
The company said anyone aged between 13 and 45 who spends two or more hours a day focusing on digital screens or near tasks could benefit from Sync III.
Maarten Brouwer, lens expert EMEA, said: ‘The power boost options provide accommodative support tailored to the patient’s age, digital device use and severity of digital eye strain symptoms. We have developed a lens solution that is perfectly suited to address the needs of today’s digital users – and offers eye care practitioners an ideal opportunity to distinguish themselves in a crowded single vision lens space.’
