2. HOYA Transmittance Control 3D Design Software:
Array… is a PAL design
HOYA Transmittance Control 3D Design Software:
Models how human eyes truly see with each prescription
Compensates for wearing position
Modifies design for optimal intermediate and reading area placement
Balances design symmetry for binocular vision and reduced “swim effect”

3. OFFERS Optimization and customization in every prescription
Wider viewing area for both myopic and hyperopic patients
Sharper, clearer, distortion-free viewing
Superior vision at all distances
Larger cut outs make clear and sun options easy to order

4. Optically Optimized Rx Powers
Aspheric / atoric
Provides sharp, clear images not distorted by elliptical errors found in conventional surfacing
Allows the design to perform at its best,
regardless of the power

Pantoscopic 8°
No pantoscopic angle
Frame wrap 0°
No frame wrap

8. 4 Corridor Lengths: When the ECP Chooses
ARRAY mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm
Y71
22W
HOYA defines corridor length as the distance in mm from Eye Point to 100% of add power
Competitors define corridor length as the distance from eye point to
85% of add power….

9. Array design with four corridor profiles:
• 11 mm for 14 mm minimum fitting height
• 13 mm for 17 mm minimum fitting height
• 15 mm for 20 mm minimum fitting height
• 17 mm for 23 mm minimum fitting height
(corridor lengths are measured from fitting point to 100% of add power)

10. Why you might want to specify corridor length
Duplicate design between two or more pair of glasses, i.e. clear general purpose and sunwear.
Converting a bifocal wearer to a progressive
Power imbalance between right and left eyes where slab-off may be indicated (anisometropia)

11. Corridors: 11, 13, 15, 17mm 11

12. Corridor Lengths & Power Profiles: When the ECP Does Not Choose; They will order ARRAY VL
When the fitting height is: (in mm)
The software chooses: (corridor length)

Backside Free-Form Surfacing Technology
Entirely free-form surfaced on the backside of a single vision, semi-finished lens blank with a design and optically optimized Rx powers.

15. The Difference Between ARRAY and Integrated Double Surface
Front
Vertical Component
Back
Horizontal Component
Aspheric Atoric Rx
All progressive lenses, except HOYALUX iD series, place magnification on one side of the lens. Having magnification on only one side causes the primary issues patients have with progressive lenses:
• Limited fields of vision, especially in the mid and near ranges
• Uncomfortable transition between far and near vision
• Swimming and swaying sensation, especially while moving
While backside free-form processing provides substantially improved performance over conventional lenses, these issues are not entirely eliminated.
Two Sides are Better than One
All design and Rx
components on back

16. Integrated Double Surface Technology
Front surface, vertical component
Shorter eye rotation
Greater surface quality control
Back surface, horizontal component
Wider perceived zones
Reduced peripheral distortion
Greater surface quality control
What are the benefits of the double surface design? The front surface contains only vertical components and the benefit is to shorten the rotation of the eyeball to go from the upper portion of the lens to the bottom – distance to near powers. Here is what that means; hold your finger up close to your nose and look from the top of your finger to the bottom near the knuckle. Kind of a long way for your eyes to travel, isn’t it?
Now, put your finger about 6 inches away further from your face and do the same thing……….a lot easier, right? That’s the advantage of puuting the vertical component of the front surface….it is easier for the eye to travel from top to bottom.
Now the back side is the horizontal component which is the “channel” and contains the peripheral distortion, you know, the blurry areas that show up on either side of the lenses. By putting this part on the back side it is sort of like looking through a keyhole. The closer you get to the keyhole the more you see on the other side. That is the advantage of putting just that part on the back side.
So, integrated double surface provides the benefit of shorter eye rotation from top to bottom because only that part of the design is further way from the eye and the “keyhole” is closer to the eye and has a wider field of view.

17. Array design markings 4 mm drop; from Eye Point to
Prism Reference Point
There are 3 types of addition powers built into the Hoya Free-Form prescription engine. As Worn, Front and Back.
The addition power can be ground to read in a lensometer from the front side and the engraving will be the letter “F” (which is the default). Conversely, the addition power can be ground to read in a lensometer from the back side and the engraving would be the letter “B”. If the option for AS Worn is utilized, the addition power will not read as ordered but slightly different depending upon the position of wear measures that were given and the “W” will appear in the temporal area where the 2 digit add power is engraved.

18. Ordering ARRAY; no selection of corridor ARRAY VL

19. Ordering ARRAY with a specific corridor length
Choose from these 4 options in the drop down menu.
ARRAY 11

20. Ordering Array in Wrap Frames
You may use Spectangle or any other method for measuring the frames pantoscopic angle and the frame’s face form wrap, especially when ordering popular “wrap” sunglass eyewear
A pop-up menu will appear and here you can fill in Pantoscopic tilt and wrap angle.
