Lenses with a high (refractive) index
Explanation:
Judging from your other question, it sounds like your text is dealing with lenses (contact lenses?). In that case, I think this is referring to the refractive index of the lens.

high-index lenses

Explanation:
after reading an article about blusite (if this is the same with your bludata), i assume that these lenses are lenses for eyeglasses. you can refer to the allaboutvision site for the description regarding high-index lenses and verify if they correspond with the "lenti ad alto indice" of your text.
