The slight power boost in the lower portion of the lens helps to relax the eye muscles, reducing symptoms of digital eye strain such as fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision. This is particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours in front of screens [1][2].
2. Seamless Transition:
With Hoya Freeform lens calculation and surfacing, the HOYA SYNC III enables optimal visual performance by providing a more natural and comfortable viewing experience [3]. The design ensures a smooth transition between different viewing zones, making it easier to switch focus from near to far distances [1][2].
3. Customizable Support Levels:
The HOYA SYNC III lenses ‘boost zone’ at the bottom of the lens, optimised for the way patients use their eyes today [3]. These lenses are available in different boost levels (e.g., Sync III 5, Sync III 9, and Sync III 13), allowing wearers to choose the level of support that best matches their visual needs and lifestyle. This customization helps in providing optimal visual performance and comfort [1][2].
4. Reduced Digital Eye Strain:
By incorporating a slight power boost, these lenses help to reduce the strain on the eyes during prolonged near tasks. This is particularly useful for digital lens wearers who may experience additional strain when using digital devices [1][2].
5. Improved Intermediate and Near Vision:
The design of the HOYA SYNC III lenses ensures wider and clearer visual fields for intermediate and near distances. This is beneficial for digital lens wearers who need to maintain clear vision at various distances throughout the day [1][2].
6. Binocular Harmonization Technology:
This technology takes into account the differences between the right and left eye prescriptions to balance the design performance, ensuring perfect and effortless focusing, constant stability, and excellent depth of vision [1][2].
In summary, the HOYA SYNC III digital lenses are a single vision lens solution designed for a wide target audience of digital device users. They provide enhanced visual comfort, reduce digital eye strain, and offer customizable support levels, making them ideal for modern, digital lifestyles.
