New release of Kenko Star Cluster Glasses

Jul 4, 2025

We are glad to announce a new Kenko Star Cluster Glasses.

Sales will commence on July 18, 2025.

Overview

The Kenko Star Cluster Glasses reduce light pollution and make it easier to see stars in the night sky.

By embedding a unique dye into the lenses, they suppress artificial ground light-often the cause of light pollution-restoring the night sky's natural color from an orange glow to its true hues.

The Kenko Star Cluster Glasses also incorporate ES lenses featuring the world's first Extended Depth of Field Design, developed by Itoh Optical Industrial. This design deepens the depth of field, allowing objects across a broader range of distances to come into focus.

This makes it easier to observe the night sky or meteor showers without the need for constant and precise refocusing.

With a high visible light transmittance of approximately 83%, the Star Cluster Glasses are ideal not only for stargazing, but also for both daytime and nighttime driving.

Main features

  • The Kenko Star Cluster Glasses reduce light from outdoor sources such as LED and high-pressure sodium
    lamps through exclusive spectral control technology. This technology mitigates light pollution and restores the orange-tinted night sky to its natural appearance.
  • The Kenko Star Cluster Glasses utilize Itoh Optical's "Extended Depth of Field Design Lens" (ES lenses), which allow a wider range of objects to stay in focus. This reduces the need for meticulous focusing and provides a clearer view-perfect for wide-scope stargazing and observing meteor showers.
  • Lenses feature a multi-coating with excellent light transmission.
  • High visible light transmittance of approximately 83% makes them suitable not only for stargazing but also for safe driving during both day and night. The ES lenses also help your eyes focus more easily and reduce eye strain.
