Spectacle Lenses
Blue Control
Blue light
LCD and LED computer and television screens, smartphones, tablets and GPS devices all emit blue light, also known as high energy visible light. As the quality of such screens improves continuously, their blue light emission is increasing. Although blue light in itself is a natural phenomenon – it is present in daylight and helps us to stay awake – excessive amounts can have an adverse effect and cause eye strain and fatigue.
BlueControl is offered in combination with HOYA’s unsurpassed Diamond Finish anti-reflection coating. This durable coating layer offers 75% more scratch resistance than its predecessors and adds even more comfort to lens wearers.

Dynamic Sync
The way we look at the world and use our eyes has changed over time. We used to spend most of our time looking at far and intermediate distances. Today we primarily focus on near objects such as computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, gaming devices and books. Most of us don’t realise the harmful effect this shift has on our eyes and vision.
Growing exposure to digital screens
Nearly 60% of us are looking at digital screens for 5+ hours per day and it’s taking its toll on our eyes, causing eye fatigue and digital eye strain. Symptoms can include tired eyes, blurred vision, headache and dry eyes. You may even experience neck or back pain, through stress placed on your cervical spine, if you’re spending long periods bent forward looking at a screen.
Spending a large amount of time looking at digital screens (or any near object) means our eyes are constantly exerting more effort to focus. Put simply, our eyes are working harder, causing strain.
How do Dynamic Sync lenses work
Dynamic Sync lenses are specifically designed for people who spend long periods of time looking at near objects such as digital screens and require glasses to see things clearly in the distance. Dynamic Sync’s superior design has your ‘distance power’ for everyday use and a ‘boost zone’ at the bottom of the lens. The boost zone reduces eye strain during up-close activities such as looking at digital screens, reading or any ‘near task’ activities. The boost zone allows your eye muscles to relax and focus more easily, helping to relieve eye strain and provide visual comfort. This is even after several hours looking at near distances.
EnRoute
Plenty of us dislike night driving – there’s no feeling quite like getting someone else’s high beams shined in your eyes or driving in low-light conditions.
It can also be dangerous, so Hoya have specifically designed EnRoute prescription lenses to meet the visual needs of drivers, whilst also being suitable for everyday wear.
Wearers will experience reduced glare from oncoming car headlights and improved contrast perception.
Ask us for Hoya’s EnRoute lenses, and enjoy safer and more comfortable driving.
High Index Lenses
HOYA Nulux
Nulux provides a simple and elegant upgrade from conventional spherical lenses. Nulux lenses are thinner, lighter, and flatter. Nulux lenses provide improved optics and superior aesthetics making wearers eyes look natural.
HOYA’s family of Nulux lenses are available in a wide array of lens materials from standard plastic to ultra-thin high index materials, combined with HOYA’s best scratch-resistant and anti-reflection coatings.
HOYA Nulux EP
Countless innovations have allowed the Single Vision design to be perfected.
For instance, aspheric lenses (Nulux design) provide a thinner lens with a larger, distortion-free field of vision, whilst double aspheric lenses (Nulux EP design) guarantee focused vision over their entire surface of the lens in all directions.
HOYA’s Free-Form design approach is based on the understanding that no two eyes are the same. Their patented Integrated Double Surface Design (IDSD) technology maps the specific rotation of each eye.
Conventional single vision lenses use a spherical front surface, meaning the curvature is constant across the front. For low power prescriptions this design produces acceptable visual quality. But as the magnitude of power increases, distortions appear, particularly at the edges of the lens.
Aspheric lenses are designed to neutralise such distortions, with curvatures on the front of the lens changing from centre to edge. But up until now, aspheric designs have been based on theoretical optical design, with little consideration for how the eye actually moves. HOYA’s Nulux EP is the first aspheric design to account for actual physiological functions like eye movement, as well as the first to incorporate the prescription into both sides of the lens.
Hoya
Canon Street Optometrists are proud to source the majority of our lenses from Hoya Lens New Zealand.
The Dispensing Optician and team at Canon Street Optometrists will talk with you about your lifestyle and work habits and will then recommend the best lens design for your personal requirements. Most lenses are customised and individualised to your needs, prescription and visual habits, so don’t be afraid to share information with us!
HOYA is one of the largest premium optical lens manufacturers worldwide. Since eye-glasses were invented, lens designs have been limited to a “one-size-fits-all” model. HOYA recognises no two people see the world the same way and has developed an extensive portfolio with award-winning products and services to suit all individual needs and lifestyles.
MiyoSmart
We are pleased to announce our practice has been accredited to dispense award-winning MiyoSmart spectacle lenses with D.I.M.S. technology.
Our childrens’ eyesight is precious. Yet most children with myopia (blurry long distance vision) today are prescribed standard single vision lenses which don’t treat myopia progression at all.
Myopia progresses more quickly in children than adults because their eyes are growing, leading to higher levels of myopia, stronger glasses and more eye health risks in adulthood.
The risks include retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts.
New, award-winning MiyoSmart lenses with D.I.M.S. technology slow myopia progression on average by 60%, compared with those wearing standard single vision lenses*.
