Thursday, June 19, 2025

A transformative gift from HOYA Vision Care will enhance the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Eye Institute’s capacity to deliver cutting-edge clinical care, expand research in vision science and provide advanced training for future optometrists.

HOYA, a global leader in optical technology internationally recognized for its innovative pediatric vision solutions, is making a significant contribution to help build the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Eye Institute (WEI) as Canada’s premier centre for optometric patient care, research and clinical education.

The gift aligns with HOYA’s commitment to evidence-based solutions and the WEI’s mission to help people see through comprehensive, evidence-based eye care. The support will enable the WEI to enhance facilities for the pediatric service while integrating the latest techniques and technologies to manage myopia (nearsightedness) in children.
