Woodys Releases Anima Series

Woodys releases Anima, a visual universe where each element reflects the essence of the brand through color, aesthetics and design. Each pair of eyewear in the collection aims to capture the uniqueness of each character, reflecting their sophisticated, bold and eccentric style. The new Anima collection draws inspiration from contemporary architecture and minimalist design to create a utopian space where shapes and colors reach a perfect balance. Honoring the meticulous design and color work that defines Woodys, the new Anima collection also ideally reflects the brand identity in a visual world of balance and elegance. For the new collection, Woodys uses natural acetates, which are lightened in special ovens for 2 weeks to reduce moisture and become hard to mattify. The color lamination of each pair of glasses is carried out with great expertise and craftsmanship. A piece of wood is placed between two different colored acetates at the temple ends of each pair of glasses, creating the signature of the brand. Offering a combination of colors and shapes that best express the personalities of its users, Woodys designs each pair of glasses to provide comfort on almost every face.

Miyosmart Equipped with D.I.M.S Technology

Hoya has produced Miyosmart lenses that slow the rate of myopia progression in children by 60%. Miyosmart T is specifically designed to slow myopia progression in a safe, easy, non-invasive and effective way. In an uncorrected myopic eye, light rays are focused in front of the central part of the retina, mid-periphery and behind the periphery. Miyosmart lenses with D.I.M.S. technology focus light rays in front of the retina, creating a myopic defocus while correcting the myopic refractive error over the entire lens surface. The Miyosmart lens is based on the revolutionary Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.). This technology was developed in collaboration with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2014. Miyosmart with D.I.M.S. technology corrects visual impairment over its entire surface to slow the rate of myopia progression. For the children who are the guarantee of our future, Hoya is calling on all parents to fight against myopia in children by introducing Miyosmart, the smart way to combat myopia, to the Turkish market.
