TOKAI Lenses Parkhurst and Co.
At Parkhurst and Co., we are proud to offer Tokai premium spectacle lenses — some of the most advanced, high-performance lenses available today. Known for their exceptional clarity, ultra-lightweight materials and bespoke manufacturing standards, Tokai lenses provide outstanding visual comfort for all prescriptions and lifestyles.
Tokai combines cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship, giving you a lens that is truly tailored to your needs.
Lutina – Tokai’s Advanced Eye-Health Lens Material
At the heart of every Tokai lens is Lutina, a unique UV- and high-energy visible (HEV) blue-light–absorbing lens material, not a coating. Lutina is engineered to filter wavelengths linked to oxidative stress and potential retinal cell damage. Studies have suggested that reducing exposure to these harmful wavelengths may support long-term retinal health and help protect the macula. Unlike surface coatings, Lutina’s protection is built into the lens itself, meaning it cannot scratch off or wear away — offering consistent, lifelong defence for your eyes.
High-Definition Vision
Tokai lenses are engineered using advanced digital free-form technology, providing:
-
Sharper, clearer vision across the entire lens surface
-
Enhanced contrast sensitivity
-
Wider, more natural viewing zones
-
Precise correction for complex prescriptions
Every lens is custom-calculated based on your individual measurements, creating a fully personalised optical experience.
Ultra-Lightweight Materials
Tokai is renowned for producing some of the lightest lenses in the world, improving comfort for all-day wear.
These materials reduce pressure on the nose and ears and are ideal for higher prescriptions where weight can otherwise be an issue.
Advanced Coatings for Everyday Comfort
Tokai’s premium coatings help protect your lenses and enhance visual comfort, including:
-
Anti-reflection coatings for clearer vision and improved night driving
-
Scratch-resistant protection for long-lasting clarity
-
Blue-light control options to reduce digital eye strain
-
Easy-clean, hydrophobic and anti-smudge coatings
These coatings keep your lenses cleaner for longer and deliver consistently crisp vision.

Tokai Lenses – FAQ Section
What is Lutina?
Lutina is Tokai’s unique UV- and HEV blue-light–absorbing lens material (not a coating). The protection is built into the lens itself, so it never scratches off or wears away.
What are the potential eye-health benefits of Lutina?
Research suggests that filtering harmful high-energy wavelengths may reduce oxidative stress on retinal cells and help support long-term macular health. Lutina is designed to offer deeper, more consistent protection than traditional coatings.
Is there evidence for Lutina’s retinal protection?
Tokai’s laboratory studies have demonstrated reduced transmission of HEV wavelengths linked to potential photochemical retinal damage. While no lens can prevent eye disease, Lutina is engineered to support long-term ocular health.
Is Lutina the same as a blue-light coating?
No. Blue-light coatings sit on the surface and can chip or wear away. Lutina is part of the lens material itself — providing stable protection throughout the lens’ lifetime.
Can Lutina help with digital eye strain?
Yes — many patients report more comfortable vision on screens because Lutina reduces harsh blue-violet light while maintaining excellent colour balance.
Do Tokai lenses come in ultra-thin options?
Absolutely. Tokai is known for producing some of the world’s thinnest lenses, and all high-index options are available with Lutina as standard.
Do Tokai lenses include coatings as well?
Yes. Lutina is the lens material, but you can add premium coatings such as Tokai’s anti-reflex, anti-scratch, or hydrophobic finishes for additional clarity and durability.
Are Tokai lenses suitable for driving?
Yes — Tokai offers specialist Driving Lenses designed to reduce glare, sharpen contrast and improve comfort in low-light conditions. All are available with Lutina protection.
Can I get Tokai photochromic lenses?
Yes. Tokai’s photochromic and sun lens options offer smooth transitions outdoors and excellent UV protection, enhanced by Lutina’s built-in filtering properties.
Why choose Tokai over standard lenses?
Tokai combines ultra-thin materials, world-class optical quality and Lutina’s long-term eye-health benefits — creating a premium lens solution tailored to modern visual demands.
How long do Tokai lenses take to arrive?
Thanks to our priority status, Tokai lenses are typically produced faster than standard orders. Turnaround times vary depending on lens type, but we will advise you at the time of ordering.
