Tokai Optical Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okazaki City, President and CEO: Hirokazu Furusawa) will launch its high-performance coating 'Exceed' for the high-temperature adaptive photochromic lens 'Lutina Photo 2' on July 1, 2026. With another summer of intense heat expected, this product is a high-performance coating specifically for the high-temperature adaptive photochromic lens 'Lutina Photo 2', designed to maintain comfortable vision even in high-temperature environments. Exceed is a high-performance, high-durability coating exclusively for Lutina Photo 2, developed for comfortable use in active environments. It is resistant to scratches even under harsh conditions, maintaining a comfortable user experience for a long period. It is suitable for a wide range of uses, from daily life to active scenes. The white-toned reflection on the lens surface naturally enhances the lens color, allowing users to enjoy the original color of the photochromic lens. It maximizes the fashion-forward colors of Lutina Photo 2, compatible with 12 colors x 4 concentrations of Ariarte Tres, across the four photochromic colors. Furthermore, with P-UV as standard, which cuts approximately 95% of back-surface reflected UV light, it protects precious eyes in combination with the lutein-protecting Lutina material. The combination of the high-temperature adaptive photochromic lens 'Lutina Photo 2' and the dedicated high-performance coating Exceed offers a product that excels in both 'functionality and fashion' for a wide range of scenes, including driving, leisure, and daily use, making it ideal for the continuing hot summer.
