Tokai Progressive Lenses — Japanese Digital Free-Form Design

by Eye-Shop. on 12-06-2024

In short: Tokai progressive lenses are Japanese-made organic lenses with an aspheric back-surface design that delivers near-instant adaptation, a field of view up to 30% wider and almost no peripheral distortion. They add the tough SPS anti-smudge coating and a UV400 filter as standard.

Tokai is one of Japan's most respected lens manufacturers, and its progressive range is built around a simple idea: the wearer should forget they are wearing a progressive lens at all. Here is what sits behind that.

Japanese build, organic material

Tokai progressive lenses are organic (plastic) lenses finished with an anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coating, plus the special SPS Coat that keeps them from smudging and makes cleaning effortless. Every pair ships with a Tokai plastic authenticity and warranty card. If you want the wider picture on the best progressive glasses, we cover the whole category separately.

Aspheric back-surface design

The heart of the lens is its innovative channel construction and the aspheric internal surface (Back Surface). Together they give immediate adaptation, increase the field of view by around 30% and remove almost all of the peripheral distortion that older progressives suffered from. The result is natural vision from the very first day, without the "swimming" sensation.

Power Management (PM) technology

With PM (Power Management) technology, Tokai widens the distance zone to a huge 120° angle, cutting the astigmatism caused by the viewing angle. Comfort rises by around 20% thanks to an ergonomic analysis of how the human eye actually moves — a single natural glance gives you the ideal view at intermediate distance, perfect for a screen or the car dashboard.

Coatings & protection

Every Tokai progressive lens includes a dedicated anti-reflective coating, the newer heavy-duty SPS scratch-resistant and anti-smudge treatment, and a UV400 filter that blocks ultraviolet light. They can be fitted into any frame you like.
