Ophthalmic lens technology leader HOYA Vision Care announced today the launch of the Hoya Hub in the U.S. market. The Hoya Hub further amplifies HOYA’s strongly embedded partnerships with Eye Care Professionals to drive digital solutions to meet their evolving needs and promote business success. The Hoya Hub exemplifies the dedication of the HOYA Vision Care team to be the ally of the customer by delivering ground-breaking solutions and innovative technologies and services.

“As a technology leader in ophthalmic lenses, we also need to be a leader in servicing our customers,” said Dave Nicoll, Global Director of Commercial Excellence. He continued, “The Hoya Hub further supports our customer-centric philosophy and adds unique value to their daily business. After nearly two years of development, we are proud to offer accounts an online service experience that is unlike any other in the laboratory business.”

The Hoya Hub experience is tailored to the needs of the practice. Features of the Hoya Hub include:

  • Customer access to the new Hoya Learning Center

“Our primary goal is to give customers access to the information they want when they want it,” noted Eduardo Martins, President, North America. He continued, “We partnered closely with customers throughout the development process. This enabled us to design the Hoya Hub around the services our customers truly want. We are very proud to provide a best-in-class service that reflects the needs of the independent Eye Care Professional.”

New features expected to launch later in 2021 include:

  • Access to statements and rewards programs
