HOYA reported strong sales of eyeglass lenses within the Americas in their Q2 2017 sales amid what they describe as a “challenging market”, recording growth of 6%, while Asia/Oceania was up 6%. Sales in Japan declined, though the prices for eyeglass lenses have stabilized.
Performance in Europe was reported to be unsatisfactory by Hoya, citing changes in insurance plans in France leading to lower performance, driving down HOYA earnings in Europe. Contact lens sales improved globally between 5% and 6% year on year.
HOYA expects profits to improve in the second half of 2017 thanks to fewer mergers and acquisitions costs.

CooperVision, Inc. announced today the introduction of MyDay® toric daily disposable contact lenses in Canada. MyDay® toric offers an extensive power range in a 1 day toric silicone hydrogel lens.
MyDay® toric features the same Optimized Toric Lens Geometry™ found in Biofinity® toric. It provides a uniform horizontal ISO thickness, an optimized ballast band design, large toric optic zone, and a smooth, continuous surface to make it an easy-to-fit, stable toric lens.
The MyDay® family of lenses is naturally wettable, without coatings or surface treatments. It also offers built-in UV protection that filters 85% of UVA and 96% of UVB rays** to help promote long-term ocular health.
By using less silicon, MyDay® has more room in the lens for hydrophilic (water loving) material, resulting in improved surface wettability, higher water content, and lower modulus for a softer, more comfortable lens-wearing experience. It also enables a modulus of only 0.4 MPa to make MyDay® CooperVision’s softest ever 1 day silicone hydrogel contact lens.
Guy Whittaker, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at CooperVision, says, “MyDay® toric is an advanced lens that practitioners can use to help further build their practices by giving patients with astigmatism a soft, comfortable lens-wearing experience with the lens stability and visual acuity they have come to expect from CooperVision’s toric lenses.”
MyDay® toric further expands CooperVision’s 1 day portfolio, with practitioners able to select from the MyDay®, clariti® 1 day and Proclear® families of 1 day lenses to provide exceptional options for just about every eye.
The complete range of MyDay® toric lenses is currently available in sphere powers from Plano to -6.00 (0.25D steps), -6.00 to -10.00 and Plano to +6.00 (0.50D steps) (plus powers available in 2018); cylinder options of -0.75, -1.25, and -1.75 in axes of 10°, 20°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 160°, 170°, and 180°; and -2.25 cylinder in axes of 10°, 20°, 90°, 160°, 170°, and 180°. MyDay® toric lenses have a base curve of 8.6 mm and a diameter of 14.5 mm.
