Hoya Vision Care launches Sensity 3, the third generation of its Sensity light-adaptive lens portfolio. According to Hoya, development efforts for Sensity 3 focused on advancing photochromic dye technology and manufacturing processes with a goal of enhancing both reaction reliability and visual consistency throughout the lifespan of the prescription.

Sensity 3 lenses are engineered to provide longer activation life and greater resistance to fatigue—common concerns related to the durability of photochromic performance over time. They are 4 times more color stable under prolonged UV exposure, demonstrate a 25% improvement in fade-back speed compared to earlier Sensity lenses, and provide reduced blue light exposure indoors and outdoors, Category 3 performance in outdoor conditions, and 100% UVA and UVB protection, according to the company.

Sensity 3 lenses are available in 4 color options—silver gray, bronze brown, emerald green, and oceanic blue—in polycarbonate material. Silver gray and bronze brown are also available in other materials.

The lenses are compatible with Hoya’s premium iD progressive, single vision, and backside progressive designs, and can be combined with the company’s antireflective coatings, including Super HiVision Meiryo EX4.
