Lutina the ultimate UV protection

Tokai lenses are known worldwide for their exceptional clarity, advanced eye-health features and premium comfort. At Parkhurst & Co., we choose Tokai lenses because they offer outstanding quality, long-term eye protection and superior performance compared to many high-street alternatives.




Tokai Lenses – Precision Lens Engineering from Japan


Tokai lenses are known worldwide for their ultra-thin materials, outstanding visual clarity, advanced varifocal designs and innovative eye-health protection. Many of our patients tell us:

“These are the clearest lenses I’ve ever worn.”

Before we explore Tokai varifocals and their world-leading thin lens materials, it’s important to highlight one of their most significant innovations:


Tokai Lenses with Lutina – Eye-Health Support & Protection for the Macula

Focus keywords: Tokai Lutina, blue light protection, UV protection, macular degeneration, AMD, eye health

Lutina is Tokai’s signature lens material designed to filter harmful blue light and UV. Unlike standard coatings, Lutina protection is built into the lens material, meaning it never peels, wears off or reduces over time.


Why Lutina matters for long-term eye health

Exposure to HEV blue light and UV is recognised as a risk factor in long-term retinal stress and macular conditions. Lutina cannot prevent or cure disease, but reducing high-energy light exposure can support overall eye comfort and macular wellbeing.

Lutina is particularly beneficial for patients with:

  • Family history of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD / ARMD)

  • Early macular changes

  • Diabetic retinal concerns

  • Light sensitivity or photophobia

  • Migraine triggers from bright light

  • High daily screen use

  • Post-cataract surgery sensitivity

Many patients describe Lutina vision as:

“Calmer, softer and more comfortable on screens.”

This makes Tokai Lutina lenses a valuable option for anyone focused on long-term eye health and macular protection.
