Hoya GP Wide - The lens that (first) changed the industry

The GP Wide lens was HOYA’s original breakthrough in expanding the reading zone. And it still fits into smaller, more fashionable frames. Progressive lens wearers often focus their complaints on the width of their reading and intermediate zones, especially if they have higher prescriptions. The GP Wide was designed specifically for those who spend a lot of time reading or working at arm’s length, expanding the intermediate and reading zones of the lenses. Transmission Based Design simulates vision to project how clearly images will appear through every point on the lens. Horizontal Asymmetry is also incorporated to balance the clear areas of the lens, improving peripheral vision and minimizing the sensation of “swim” often associated with older progressive designs. Combining these technologies broadens the intermediate and near zones, and reduces the size and intensity of the blur zones at the edges of most progressive lenses.
