EYECARE: Eye Health Hoya and BluTech Offer Complete Range of Blue Light Solutions By Andrew Karp Monday, May 19, 2014 12:00 AM LEWISVILLE, Texas—Hoya Vision Care and BluTech Lenses are now offering a range of lens designs, materials and treatments to independent eyecare providers. “The goal is to provide independent ECPs a range of solutions for their patients,” said Barney Dougher, president and CEO of Hoya Vision Care, North America. “By having both Hoya Recharge EX3 AR and BluTech Lenses available in our portfolio we allow ECPs to offer comprehensive blue light lens solutions based upon the lifestyle and visual requirements of the individual patient.” Recharge EX3 lenses reflect harmful blue light away from the eyes. BluTech Lenses filter high-energy blue and block ultra violet light using a proprietary process involving the infusion of ocular lens pigment into the monomer of an optical lens. This infusion of pigment provides similar protection, contrast enhancement, glare reduction and color perception to the eye as the natural coloration of the human crystalline lens. Hoya offers BluTech lenses in flat top, free- form single vision, free-form back side PAL, computer and VSP Unity. A range of Hoya’s premium AR treatments are also available. ■ akarp@jobson.com
