At HOYA Vision Care Canada, we're committed to providing Eye Care Professionals (ECPs) with the tools and knowledge they need to educate their patients about the importance of sunwear.
From UV protection to enhanced visual clarity, our range of photochromic lenses offers a comprehensive solution for patients seeking optimal eye protection and comfort in any light condition. With lenses suitable for both adults and children, photochromic lenses are a valuable choice for the entire family.
Photochromic lenses offer convenience and comfort
Photochromic lenses are ideal for patients who want the convenience of eyewear that adapts quickly between indoor and outdoor environments. The benefit of choosing a photochromic option like our Sensity® lenses is that patients have a reliable all-in-one eyewear solution.
HOYA Vision Care Canada offers two Sensity® lens options, so you can provide your patients a choice based on their unique preferences.

Who is it for? We recommend Sensity® 2 for patients who have busy, active lifestyles, and want convenient, all-in-one eyewear.

Photochromic lenses for children
Children may forget to switch their sunglasses or even lose them if they have more than one pair. Photochromic lenses solve this problem, as they automatically adjust to changing light conditions and eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses.

Talking to your patients about the importance of sunwear
When it comes to safeguarding eye health against the harmful effects of sunlight, prescription sun lenses are a smart solution. Not only do they shield the eyes, eyelids, and the delicate skin around the eyes from sun-related damage, but they also present an opportunity for patients to leverage the latest advancements in lens technology.
Prescription sunwear offers a multitude of benefits beyond UV protection. Here are some key features to discuss with your patients:
- 100% UV protection: Essential for guarding against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
- Solar blue light protection: Filters out blue light, reducing eye strain and fatigue.
- Comfort: Ensures all-day comfort, even in bright sunlight.
- Visual clarity: Enhances vision by reducing glare and improving contrast.
- Impact protection: Provides an added layer of safety for outdoor activities.
- Glare reduction: Minimizes glare for clearer vision in varying light conditions.
- Extra darkness outdoors: Adjusts tint darkness to match outdoor lighting conditions.
- Style variety: Offers a wide range of styles to suit individual preferences.
By highlighting these features, you help your patients to make informed decisions that enhance their visual experience.
