Lutina is not a coating, but a lens material which helps to protect the wearer from the deterioration of Lutein within the macula. This helps in preventing against eye diseases such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Age-Related Macular Degeneration, or AMD, is the process of wearing down the centre of the retina. This is the most common cause of vision loss for people over the age of 50. Studies have shown that UV rays and blue light can lead to the onset of age-related macular degeneration.

​Many ocular diseases are thought to be caused by oxidative stress, due to the release of free radicals, resulting in cellular degeneration. Lutein is the main carotenoid that suppresses this oxidative stress. The Lutina Lense has the ability to absorb light between 400 to 420 nm, cutting light in this wavelength range effectively suppresses generation of active oxygen and deterioration of lutein.

Just like taking supplements, wearing Lutina on a daily basis is thought to be an effective way of keeping your eyes healthy.

Lutina is available in single vision, office and progressive designs in 1.50, 1.60, 1.67 and 1.76 index - recommended for patients who spend a lot of time in high UV environments, post-surgery cataract patients, those using many screens as well as people at risk of AMD.

Lutina is for everyone, children included. Start protecting your eyes from a young age.
