Hoya Surgical Optics Enters US Marketplace

Hoya Surgical Optics based in Chino Hills, California is a global company focused on meeting the needs of surgeons and patients worldwide.  They are the world’s 4^th largest intraocular lens (IOL) manufacturer and distributor. Hoya Surgical Optics leverages more than 65 years of experience in precision optics technology into the design and manufacture of IOL’s.

Hoya Surgical Optics has recently gained FDA clearance for its IOL’s and iSert pre-loaded IOL System and looks to gain market share via a competitive portfolio of lenses and pre-loaded IOL Systems.  The company is offering spherical and aspheric acrylic lenses with a multifocal lens currently being offered outside the United States.

The AF-1 iSymm Acrylic Lens delivers the proprietary Aspheric Balanced Curve Design, advanced blue light absorbing technology, and 360-degree step-edge design.  This lens has a 6.0mm optic and has received New Technology Intraocular (NTIOL) designation from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services .  The AF-1 iSpheric IOL delivers reliable visual outcomes through proven design, materials, and manufacturing. The lens provides a smooth optical surface coupled with design features that minimize optic deformation and provides excellent intracapsular stability.  The iSert preloaded IOL system has been designed to fit through a sub 2.5mm incision.  This pre-loaded system is easy to use and saves time for the surgeon and staff.

Hoya Surgical Optics has also recently announced the introduction of the Smart Automated Inventory Management system, “SAMI” as part of their customer care technologies and services. Using advanced radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, SAMI provides automated lens reordering as well as real-time, automated inventory management designed to reduce costs associated with reordering IOLs along with increased assurance of avoiding stock-outs for ophthalmic practices.
