Hoya Vision Care Australia & New Zealand has launched Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond Coating, its most advanced premium coating to date, promising longer lasting and superior clarity, it said.

The benefits of anti-reflective coatings are well known in the optical industry, including glare-reduction, scratch resistance, anti-static, water-repellence and many others, said Griff Altmann, chief technical officer at Hoya Vision Care. “With the launch of this new coating, Hoya has elevated these features, ensuring outstanding quality not only on day one of purchasing the spectacles but for the length of their prescription and beyond.”

The new Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond coating offers “extreme” protection against scratches, smudges, glare and UV while providing the wearer with ultimate clarity, he said. “This coating has undergone a testing protocol for quality, passing the severe tests which provide patients with the Hoya quality guarantee for long-lasting anti-reflective coatings that exceed expectations. It also offers them the confidence that their lenses will maintain their properties over time and are able to endure many conditions and various lifestyles.”

Available in clear, tinted, Sensity 2, Sensity Fast, Sensity Dark and polarised, Hi-Vision Meiryo Diamond will replace Diamond Finish UV Control coating in all Hoya grind lenses.
