Embedded UV420 Blue Light Blocking Material

Tokai Optical's Lutina series lenses represent a significant advancement in eye protection, focusing on preserving the crucial natural defenses within our eyes. While the material itself is a specialized lens, its core function is to meticulously absorb a specific spectrum of light between 400 and 420 nanometers. This targeted absorption is vital because light within this High Energy Violet range is thought to contribute to oxidative stress in the eyes.

The primary advantage of wearing Tokai Lutina lenses lies in their ability to proactively safeguard ocular health. By effectively cutting out 94% of this harmful high energy violet light, these lenses play a crucial role in preventing conditions like Age Related Macular Degeneration. This common cause of vision loss particularly affects individuals aged 50 and above, making the protective qualities of Lutina lenses especially beneficial for long term eye wellness.

Lutina lenses protect lutein by directly addressing the factors that lead to its deterioration. Lutein is a vital carotenoid pigment found in high concentrations within the retina, lens, and macula of the eye. It naturally acts as an antioxidant and filters blue light. By reducing the exposure to the specific wavelength range that causes active oxygen generation and lutein degradation, Lutina lenses help maintain the integrity and presence of this essential pigment, thereby supporting the eye's natural protective mechanism.
