Hoya Vision Care

By 2050 half of the global population an estimated 5 billion people will be affected by myopia. Myopia is the most significant eye health threat of the century. Currently, it already affects 30% of the society globally. We at HOYA Vision Care believe it is a moral imperative to tackle this growing issue through innovations, new approaches and protocols. We call on governments and public health organizations to prioritize myopia to improve the quality of life for all children.   Children deserve treatment for myopia #ActNow! #Globalhealth #HOYAforthevisionaries #HOYAVisionCare #myopia

We’ve all been trained to frequently wash our hands in order to cut down the spread of viruses. When your patients rub their eyes with unwashed hands they risk transferring potentially dangerous bacteria into the sensitive optical biome, which can cause infections, styes or conjunctivitis. Our hands harbor up to 3,200 different strains of bacteria and are host to 100,000-a few million germs at any one time. Hand washing isn’t just for contact-lens wearers. Do you talk to your patients about the importance of general hand hygiene? #HOYAforthevisionaries #educateyourpatients #hygiene

HOYA Lens Iberia joined in the One Vision Day celebrations earlier this year by planning their own reforestation activity. Focusing on the ‘Environment’ branch of One Vision, our colleagues in Spain came together to plant an incredible 250 trees in the south of Madrid. Not only did this initiative bring our team at HOYA Lens Iberia closer together, fostering greater connections and collaboration among our colleagues, but it also serves as another example of how HOYA Vision Care is committed to improving the sustainability of our practices and our communities. We hope the trees planted in Madrid will continue to flourish as we carry on working together towards a greener future!

As an Eye Care Professional, you’re probably used to informing your patients about the vision damaging effects of UV exposure. But did you know that getting enough sunlight can help to keep eyes healthy? Exposure to sunlight triggers the production of vitamin D, which stimulates the release of dopamine, the “happy hormone”. Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter that influences the pleasure response, but it can also help prevent the onset of myopia and its progression. Getting outside in the sun (while wearing UV protection) not only makes patients feel better, but can improve the health of their eyes. #HOYAforthevisionaries #educateyourpatients #EyeCareProfessionals #visionhealth

As Eye Care Professional you can help your patients to keep their vision as clear as it can be. Eating carrots might not help them see in the dark, but eating foods rich in dietary carotenoids - found in, for example, apples, oranges and tomatoes – aids vision health. Carotenoids are the pigments responsible for red, yellow and orange colourings in plants and are found in fruits & vegetables and are a type of dietary antioxidant that can help prevent macular degeneration.     #HOYAforthevisionaries #visionhealth #educateyourpatients

Earlier this year, HOYA celebrated ‘One Vision month’ – where thousands of colleagues from around the world joined together to facilitate 86 activities and events across 27 countries.
